This serif has a crisp, bookish texture with moderately modulated strokes and subtly flared, bracketed serifs that widen into the stems rather than ending as hard slabs. Curves are smooth and generously open (notably in C, O, and e), while verticals read steady and straight, giving the face a composed rhythm in text. The lowercase shows traditional proportions with a rounded, readable e and a two-storey g; ascenders are clean and relatively tall, and spacing appears even without feeling mechanically monospaced. Numerals are lining and oldstyle-influenced in feel, with elegant curves and light finishing that match the letterforms.
Well suited for book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture supports comfortable reading. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a classic, trustworthy voice.
The overall tone is literary and classical, with an understated elegance suited to long-form reading. Its flared serif behavior adds a faint calligraphic warmth, keeping the page from feeling stark or overly modern. In display sizes it projects a calm, cultured authority rather than loud personality.
The font appears designed to provide a traditional reading experience with a gently expressive serif treatment, combining editorial clarity with subtle calligraphic flare. Its letterforms aim for dependable text performance while still offering enough character for display use in titles and short passages.
The design balances sharpness and softness: pointed interior joins and tapered terminals add crispness, while the rounded bowls and open apertures maintain friendliness and clarity. Capitals feel stately and slightly wide in presence, while the lowercase maintains a steady, traditional text color. Diagonal strokes (V, W, X, y) appear clean and controlled, reinforcing the face’s polished, editorial character.
