This typeface is a serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that grow out of the stems rather than sitting as flat slabs. Strokes show a gently calligraphic modulation, with tapering into terminals and subtly swelling verticals that create a lively, hand-informed rhythm. Capitals are stately and open, with broad curves and crisp, pointed joins; the lowercase is compact with a relatively small x-height and clear, rounded counters. Overall spacing reads even and texty, while individual glyphs retain distinctive, slightly sculpted details (notably in curved letters and diagonals) that keep paragraphs from looking mechanical.
It performs well in long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, where the flared serifs and compact lowercase create a steady, comfortable texture. It also suits headlines, pull quotes, and cultural branding applications that benefit from a classic, slightly calligraphic presence.
The font conveys a classical, literary tone with an editorial polish, evoking traditional book typography and engraved or stone-cut letterforms. Its flared terminals add warmth and dignity, giving text an authoritative yet personable voice suited to refined, culture-forward communication.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional serif readability with a distinctive flared, chiseled character, offering a familiar bookish foundation while adding expressive terminals and tapered details for personality in both text and display settings.
Curves are smooth and generously proportioned, with terminals that often resolve into sharp, tapered points, lending sparkle at display sizes. Numerals follow the same sculpted, old-style sensibility, integrating comfortably with the lowercase texture rather than feeling purely geometric.
