A refined serif with gently flared stroke endings and small, bracketed serifs that feel more tapered than blocky. Curves are smooth and well-controlled, with moderate, even modeling and a steady rhythm across capitals and lowercase. The uppercase set is stately and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase shows compact proportions with a relatively short x-height, tall ascenders, and clear, open apertures. Details like the beaked terminals on forms such as C and S, the sharp diagonal energy in V/W/X, and the elegant, lightly hooked tail on Q contribute to a crisp, traditional texture in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its steady texture and traditional proportions support comfortable typography. It also works effectively for headings, literary titling, and institutional materials that benefit from a classic, established tone.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, projecting a calm, authoritative presence associated with books, institutions, and editorial work. Its restrained detailing and classical proportions give it a composed, formal voice rather than a decorative or playful one.
The design appears intended to deliver a timeless reading experience with subtle flare and controlled serif detailing, balancing classical elegance with practical clarity. Its proportions and terminal treatment suggest a focus on dependable text setting and dignified display use.
In the sample text, spacing and letterfit create a clean, readable line with a slightly elevated, old-world cadence. Numerals are straightforward and proportional in style, matching the text color and maintaining the same restrained detailing as the letters.
