This typeface presents a classic serif structure with subtly flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden as strokes meet the baseline and cap line. Curves are generously drawn and smooth, with a measured, moderate stroke modulation that feels pen-informed rather than purely mechanical. Capitals are stately and open, with crisp joins and confident diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) and a slightly sculpted, engraved look at the stroke endings. The lowercase keeps a steady rhythm with rounded bowls, compact joins, and clear, traditional forms; numerals follow the same oldstyle-leaning, serifed construction and sit comfortably with the text color.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding systems that benefit from a crafted, heritage-leaning texture without looking overly ornate.
The overall tone is literary and composed—evoking traditional publishing, academia, and heritage branding. Its flared terminals add a subtle sense of craftsmanship and warmth, while the controlled contrast keeps it serious and dependable.
The design appears intended to bridge classic text typography with a gently expressive, flared-terminal finish, offering a familiar literary foundation while adding a distinctive, sculpted signature in the details.
At text sizes the face builds an even, darkish color with clear word shapes and distinct letterforms; at display sizes the wedge terminals and stroke modulation become more expressive. The design reads as contemporary in its cleanliness, but rooted in historical serif proportions and calligraphic logic.
