This serif typeface shows gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs, with a measured, bookish rhythm. Strokes transition with noticeable but controlled contrast, and the joins stay crisp without feeling brittle. Uppercase forms are stately with wide, open bowls (notably in C, G, O) and a slightly tapered, chiseled feel at terminals. Lowercase characters maintain clear differentiation and readable apertures, with a compact, tidy texture in continuous text and traditional proportions for figures and capitals.
It suits long-form reading such as books and essays, where its open counters and controlled contrast support comfortable paragraphs. The distinctive flared endings also make it effective for magazine headings, refined branding, and packaging that benefits from a traditional yet fresh serif character.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, suggesting a blend of tradition and polish rather than overt display. Its flared, slightly calligraphic finishing adds a subtle warmth and sophistication, giving text a composed, cultured voice appropriate for premium reading contexts.
The design appears intended to evoke classical serif conventions while adding individuality through flared terminals and carefully shaped brackets, aiming for a refined texture that holds up in both text and display settings.
Round letters keep generous interior space, helping the face avoid looking cramped even at larger sizes. The italics are not shown; the impression here comes from the upright roman with consistent terminal treatment and a steady baseline presence.
