This typeface presents an old-style serif structure with gently bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden as they meet terminals. Contrast is moderate, with a smooth transition between thick and thin strokes and a soft, slightly calligraphic modulation that reads clearly in both display and text settings. Proportions feel traditionally balanced: capitals are stately with ample interior space, while lowercase shows a steady rhythm and open counters. Curves are round and controlled, with restrained terminals and a slightly organic finish rather than razor-sharp geometry.
It suits long-form editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine features, where a steady rhythm and moderate contrast support readability. The distinctive flared terminals also make it a strong choice for headlines, institutional branding, and cultural or literary projects that benefit from a classical, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, evoking classic publishing and learned, institutional contexts. Its flared details add a touch of warmth and humanist character, keeping the voice refined but not overly formal or rigid.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif legibility with a subtly expressive, flared finish, delivering a familiar literary texture while adding a recognizable signature in terminals and serifs.
The numerals appear lining and well aligned, matching the serif detailing and contrast of the letters. In the sample text, the face maintains an even color with clear word shapes, suggesting comfortable reading in paragraph-length composition while still offering enough character for titles and pull quotes.
