This serif typeface combines sturdy, fairly vertical structure with subtly tapered strokes that broaden toward the terminals, giving many stems a gently flared finish. Serifs are clean and bracketed rather than blocky, with a traditional, text-oriented rhythm and balanced proportions. Curves are smooth and open (notably in C, O, and e), and joins feel controlled, keeping the overall color even at paragraph sizes while still showing moderate stroke modulation.
It suits long-form reading such as books, essays, and reports, where its steady rhythm and open forms support legibility. It also works well for editorial typography—headlines, subheads, and pull quotes—when a classic, dependable voice is desired, and can lend a refined tone to institutional or heritage-leaning branding.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a literary, editorial feel. The flared endings add a quiet touch of warmth and craftsmanship without becoming decorative, making it read as classic and authoritative rather than trendy.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, highly readable serif with a subtle flared-stroke character, balancing traditional book typography cues with a slightly more sculpted, crafted finish at terminals.
Uppercase forms appear stately and well-spaced, while the lowercase maintains familiar, readable shapes with a conventional two-storey a and single-storey g. Numerals are clear and proportional, matching the text style and contrast of the letters.
