A refined serif with flared, wedge-like stroke endings and subtly bracketed joins that give the contours a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin modulation with smooth transitions and gently tapered terminals rather than abrupt cuts. The proportions are relatively compact and slightly narrow, with crisp verticals, open counters, and a steady baseline rhythm. Uppercase forms feel stately and controlled, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and readable apertures; numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and smooth curves.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a warm, classic serif texture is desirable. It also performs well for refined headings, pull quotes, and cultural or institutional communications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is literary and editorial, balancing traditional bookish authority with a touch of engraved elegance. It reads as composed and trustworthy, with an understated sophistication suited to serious and cultured contexts.
The design appears intended to evoke classic, print-oriented typography with gentle calligraphic influence, using flared terminals and moderate contrast to create a distinctive yet highly readable texture across sizes.
The flared stroke endings are most noticeable on capitals and in diagonals, lending a subtle chiselled quality without becoming decorative. Curves are clean and continuous, and the italic is not shown, reinforcing a straightforward, upright presentation.
