This is a crisp serif with subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth, continuous curves and confident verticals, giving letters a sculpted, print-ready rhythm. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase is compact with clear bowls and sturdy joins; the numerals are firm and traditional with open counters and stable proportions.
It fits long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. The sturdy capitals and confident numerals also suit headlines, institutional branding, and packaging that aims for a classic, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, projecting authority without feeling ornate. Its flared terminals add a quiet calligraphic warmth, balancing a classic bookish voice with a clean, contemporary polish.
The design appears aimed at a readable, all-purpose serif with a slightly humanist, flared finish—something that delivers familiar literary credibility while remaining sharp and modern in reproduction.
Round letters (C, O, G) read evenly and controlled, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay sharp and disciplined. The lowercase maintains a steady texture suitable for continuous text, while capitals and figures have enough presence for titling without becoming decorative.
