A serif text face with gently flared, bracketed serifs and subtly tapered stems that swell toward terminals. Stroke contrast stays restrained, giving a steady color on the page, while pointed joins and crisp wedge-like endings add definition. Proportions are moderately narrow with compact curves, and counters are clean and open enough to keep words clear in continuous reading. The lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with a two-storey “a” and “g” and a pronounced, slightly calligraphic slant in terminals and diagonals.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable, classical serif texture is desired. It can also serve for refined headlines, pull quotes, and brand typography that needs a traditional, authoritative tone without heavy contrast.
The overall tone feels traditional and composed, with a bookish, editorial confidence. Its sharp finishing and quiet calligraphic inflection suggest heritage and craft rather than overt decoration, lending an authoritative, cultured voice to text.
The design appears intended as a modern, readable serif that borrows from engraved and calligraphic traditions, using flared terminals to add character while preserving a calm text rhythm.
In text, the font maintains an even texture while letting capitals and numerals read distinctly through angled strokes and flared endings. The figures appear lining with clear differentiation between similar shapes, and punctuation and dots stay compact and crisp, supporting dense setting.
