A serif text face with moderately wide proportions, bracketed serifs, and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a gently tapered, calligraphic feel. Curves are smooth and full, with round bowls and open counters; the overall rhythm is even and readable. The lowercase shows a two-storey “g” with a prominent ear and a two-storey “a,” while the numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel with generous curves and clear differentiation. Serifs are not heavy or blocky; instead they transition softly into the main strokes, creating a refined, slightly sculpted silhouette.
This style is well suited to editorial typography—magazines, essays, and book interiors—where classic serif detail and steady rhythm support long-form reading. Its strong, well-shaped capitals also work for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional branding that benefits from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish tone—confident and composed, with a hint of warmth from the flared terminals and rounded forms. It feels suited to established institutions and print conventions rather than overtly modern or experimental design.
The design appears intended to bridge classical serif tradition with a slightly livelier, more human stroke finish, using flared terminals and soft bracketing to add warmth without sacrificing clarity. It aims for versatile use across text and display, maintaining a composed, literary character while staying visually distinctive.
In text, the face holds together with a steady color and a slightly expansive fit, making it comfortable at medium sizes while still delivering presence in display settings. The capitals read formal and balanced, and the punctuation and figures appear designed to blend smoothly into running text rather than calling attention to themselves.
