A restrained serif with subtly flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that keep the color even while adding a faint calligraphic lift. Strokes remain mostly consistent, with mild modulation and softened joins that prevent harsh corners. Proportions are compact and vertical, with crisp, tapered terminals on characters like C, S, and J and a balanced, readable lowercase that stays open in counters and apertures. Numerals share the same understated serif treatment, giving text a cohesive, quietly formal rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial typography—book interiors, long-form articles, and magazine text—where a stable rhythm and quiet sophistication help readability. It can also support literary or institutional branding, invitations, and headings where a traditional serif voice is desired without overt ornamentation.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, suggesting editorial seriousness without feeling heavy or ornate. Its flared details add a touch of refinement and warmth, making it feel traditional, steady, and composed in continuous reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable reading face with a subtle flare-driven personality—classic in structure, but with softened, tapered endings that add distinction while preserving an even, controlled typographic color.
Capitals are dignified and relatively narrow with clear, sturdy structures, while the lowercase maintains an even cadence and avoids exaggerated contrast. The ampersand and diagonal forms (such as V/W/X) keep sharpness but are tempered by the font’s tapered finishing, producing a polished, literary texture.
