This typeface presents a restrained serif structure with subtly flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that sharpen at the tips. Strokes remain fairly even overall, with gentle modulation rather than dramatic thick–thin contrast, giving the letters a steady, readable rhythm. The proportions are compact and slightly condensed, with tall capitals and neatly controlled curves; counters stay open and clean. Lowercase forms read traditional and text-oriented, with a two-storey “a” and “g” and crisp, tapered terminals that add definition without becoming ornate.
It suits editorial design where a traditional serif voice is desired—magazine text, essays, and longer reading—while its compact proportions also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that need a sober, literary feel.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, with a composed, slightly bookish personality. The flared finishing strokes lend a quiet authority and a touch of old-style warmth while maintaining a modern crispness in setting.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with subtle flared terminals, creating a disciplined text face that stays crisp at display sizes. The goal seems to be readable, formal typography with a distinctive but controlled finishing detail.
Numerals appear sturdy and clear, with consistent serif treatment and minimal flourish. Round letters like O/Q are smooth and contained, while diagonals in V/W/X and the capital A show sharp apexes and pointed, calligraphic-like tapering that reinforces the flared theme.
