A serif typeface with sculpted, gently flared strokes and bracketed serifs that soften transitions into terminals. The letterforms show moderate stroke modulation and a steady, text-oriented rhythm, with round characters built on broad ovals and clear apertures. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly compact, while the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with sturdy verticals and rounded bowls. Details such as the two-storey a and g, the angled leg of R, and the tapered arms in E/F/T contribute to a consistent, carefully drawn texture across words and lines.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and branding that calls for a refined, established presence, especially at display sizes where the flared details and bracketed serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a composed, editorial voice. Its flared shaping lends a subtle calligraphic warmth, keeping the impression formal without feeling brittle or overly sharp. The result reads as literary and established, suitable for content that benefits from quiet authority.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif model by combining traditional proportions with subtly flared stroke endings for warmth and character. It aims for reliable readability while adding enough sculpted detail to stand out in editorial and identity settings.
The numerals appear robust and legible, with clear differentiation and a traditional lining style that matches the capitals. Spacing and shapes in the sample text create an even grayscale at larger text sizes, with terminals and serifs adding a distinct, slightly sculptural finish.
