A serif typeface with gently flared strokes and wedge-like, bracketed terminals that give the forms a subtly calligraphic build. Curves are full and slightly tapered at joins, with moderate stroke modulation that stays smooth rather than sharp. The capitals feel sturdy and classical with crisp serifs and open counters, while the lowercase shows rounded bowls and softly swelling stems that maintain an even reading rhythm. Figures are proportionate and clear, matching the text’s overall dark, steady color.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable serif texture is desired. It also holds up in headlines and subheads, where the flared terminals provide recognizable personality without sacrificing clarity. Appropriate for branding and identity work that aims for tradition, credibility, and a crafted feel.
The overall tone is literary and traditional, suggesting printed editorial work and established institutions. Its flared endings and moderate modulation add warmth and a handmade echo without becoming ornamental. The result feels confident and somewhat old-world, suited to content that benefits from gravitas and familiarity.
Likely designed to blend classical serif proportions with flared, calligraphic terminals to create a readable text face that still carries a distinctive signature. The intent appears to be a dependable workhorse for print-like typography with added warmth and nuance in the stroke endings.
In text, the face produces a solid, slightly dark typographic color with comfortable spacing and smooth curves that keep lines cohesive. The flared terminals create distinctive word shapes and a gentle movement along the baseline, lending character at both display and paragraph sizes.
