A crisp serif face with gently tapered stems and subtly flared stroke endings that give it a lightly calligraphic, carved feel. Serifs are bracketed and moderately sized, with clean joins and a steady rhythm across caps and lowercase. The lowercase shows smooth, rounded bowls and clear apertures, while the capitals keep conservative proportions and sharp, confident diagonals. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and a flowing baseline rhythm, matching the text color and contrast of the letters.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and long-form reading, and classic branding where a trustworthy, traditional voice is needed. It also performs nicely for headlines and formal printed materials that benefit from a refined serif with a subtle hand-crafted edge.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting credibility and refinement without looking delicate. Its flared terminals add warmth and a hand-influenced character that feels established and cultured rather than strictly mechanical.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, classic serif voice with added personality from flared terminals and modest stroke modulation. It aims for clarity and a comfortable reading rhythm while maintaining a formal, cultivated presence in display and text settings.
Text setting shows a stable, even color with strong readability at display sizes, and the flared endings create a distinctive texture in longer lines. The design balances firmness in verticals with soft modulation in curves, producing an elegant, slightly engraved impression.
