This typeface is a serif with flared stroke endings and crisp, bracketed serifs that create a subtly calligraphic feel. Proportions are relatively compact, with sturdy vertical stems, moderate modulation, and rounded joins that keep the texture smooth in continuous reading. The capitals are stately and slightly condensed with tapered, sharpened terminals; the lowercase shows open counters and a controlled rhythm with clearly differentiated shapes (notably in a, e, g, and y). Numerals share the same high-contrast-with-restraint logic, with clean curves and stable vertical stress that reads well at display sizes.
It works especially well for book typography, essays, and long-form editorial settings where a refined serif texture is desirable. The narrowish capitals and pronounced terminals also make it effective for magazine headlines, cultural branding, and formal materials such as invitations or programs, particularly at medium to large sizes where the flare and modulation can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with an editorial polish that feels appropriate for established institutions and traditional publishing. The flared strokes add a touch of warmth and hand influence without becoming decorative, projecting confidence, formality, and restraint.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif authority with a gently contemporary sharpness, using flared terminals and controlled contrast to create a distinctive, cultured voice. It aims for legibility and composure first, while offering enough character in the terminals and curves to stand out in titling and editorial display.
Stroke endings often taper and widen subtly into the terminals, giving a gentle sense of movement while maintaining a tidy, even color. Curves are carefully controlled and slightly ovalized, and the punctuation and ampersand sit comfortably alongside text with a composed, bookish texture.
