A compact serif with pronounced flaring at stroke terminals and gently bracketed serif transitions that feel sculpted rather than mechanically applied. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin rhythm with softly tapered joins and slightly calligraphic modulation, producing a lively texture in text. Proportions are relatively condensed with firm verticals and subtly organic curves; counters stay open and the overall spacing reads even, giving paragraphs a steady, bookish color.
Works well for editorial typography and book-oriented layouts where a classic serif texture is desired, especially in short-to-medium passages and sophisticated headings. The distinctive flared terminals also suit branding, packaging, and formal collateral where a traditional, crafted voice can add character without sacrificing clarity.
The tone is classical and literary, with an old-style warmth tempered by a crisp, formal finish. Its flared endings and moderate contrast add a hint of handmade elegance, making the voice feel traditional, trustworthy, and slightly ceremonial without becoming ornate.
Likely designed to evoke a historically informed, calligraphy-adjacent serif idiom with flared stroke endings, balancing elegance and readability. The intent appears to be a text-capable face with enough distinctive terminal shaping to stand out in display sizes and identity work.
Uppercase forms appear stately and narrow, with clear vertical emphasis and controlled curvature. Lowercase maintains readable apertures and a consistent rhythm, while numerals share the same sculpted terminal logic, helping mixed-content settings feel cohesive.
