A serif typeface with bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give the letters a gently sculpted, calligraphic feel without becoming ornate. Strokes show moderate contrast and smooth transitions, with sturdy verticals and softly tapered terminals. Proportions are balanced and traditional, with open bowls and clear apertures that keep forms readable in continuous text. The lowercase is compact and steady, while capitals are stately and evenly spaced, producing an orderly rhythm across lines.
Well-suited to editorial and book typography where a traditional serif texture is desired, and equally effective for headings and subheads that need a refined, authoritative presence. It can also support branding and institutional materials that benefit from a classic, crafted serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, conveying a composed, institutional confidence. Its flared detailing adds a hint of warmth and craftsmanship, keeping the voice formal but not severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, traditional reading experience while adding subtle flare at stroke endings for a more bespoke, crafted character than a purely transitional text face.
Numerals appear lining and well-proportioned for mixed settings, with clear differentiation and consistent weight. The shapes maintain a calm texture in paragraphs, with enough crispness at joins and serifs to stay sharp in display sizes.
