A wide, flared-serif text face with gently tapered stems that broaden into wedge-like endings rather than crisp bracketed serifs. The forms show a calligraphic influence with moderate stroke modulation, soft curves, and slightly sculpted joins. Counters are generous and round, while horizontals and diagonals feel subtly tensioned, giving letters an engraved, carved look. Uppercase proportions are broad and steady, and the lowercase has compact bodies with pronounced ascenders/descenders that help maintain clarity at text sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic, comfortable texture is desired. The broad proportions and distinctive flared endings also work well for display uses such as chapter openers, cultural branding, packaging, and formal printed pieces where a traditional voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a composed, slightly antique dignity. Its flared terminals and soft modulation add warmth and humanist character, suggesting a heritage feel rather than a sharp modern voice.
The design appears intended to evoke classic, humanist serif typography while differentiating itself through flared, wedge-like terminals and a subtly carved stroke finish. It prioritizes a readable text rhythm with an added measure of historic, inscriptional character for display impact.
The italic is not shown; in the upright style the spacing reads even and comfortable, and the wide set gives headlines a calm, expansive rhythm. Numerals appear old-style in spirit with curving strokes and prominent terminals that visually match the letterforms.
