A serif typeface with bracketed, subtly flared terminals and a steady, medium-contrast stroke pattern. Capitals are broad and classical in proportion, with crisp, triangular serifs and restrained modulation. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with a two-storey “a,” a traditional “g,” and a robust, slightly angled stress that keeps counters open in text. Curves are smooth and controlled, joins are clean, and spacing appears even, producing a consistent rhythm across words and lines.
Well suited for editorial typography where a classic serif voice is needed, including book text, long-form reading, and magazine or newspaper-style layouts. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and institutional communications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative texture.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a literary, institutional feel. Its controlled contrast and confident serifs lend an authoritative voice that reads as dependable rather than ornamental.
Designed to provide a familiar, text-centric serif with subtle flare and careful modulation, balancing classical details with pragmatic readability. The aim appears to be a versatile workhorse for print-like typography that can move smoothly between paragraph settings and prominent titles.
The flared shaping at stroke endings adds a mild calligraphic warmth without pushing into display territory. Numerals are solid and readable, with clear differentiation and comfortable weight for running text and headings.
