A crisp serif with tapered, slightly flared stroke endings and finely bracketed serifs that give the letters a subtly calligraphic, carved feel. Curves are smooth and controlled, with clear, moderate thick–thin modulation and clean joins, producing an even, composed rhythm in text. Proportions lean traditional: capitals are stately with generous bowls and open counters, while the lowercase shows sturdy verticals, compact terminals, and a balanced, readable texture. Numerals follow the same sharp, tapered finishing, with clear silhouettes and restrained ornament.
It suits book and long-form editorial settings where a classic serif voice is desired, and it scales well into magazine headlines or pull quotes thanks to its crisp terminals and controlled contrast. It can also support formal branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional, refined typographic tone.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, recalling book typography and formal editorial design. Its tapered finishing and tidy contrast add a refined, slightly ceremonial character without becoming ornate or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional reading serif with added sharpness and character through tapered, flared terminals—bridging classical bookish proportions with a more sculpted, contemporary finish.
Serif treatment varies between gently bracketed foot serifs and more wedge-like, flared terminals, which adds liveliness while keeping the texture consistent. Diacritics are not shown, but within the displayed set the shapes maintain a coherent, traditional rhythm, especially noticeable in the rounded letters and the crisp diagonals.
