A restrained serif with subtly flared stroke endings that read like wedge serifs rather than blunt slabs. Strokes stay fairly even with gentle modulation, and the terminals taper into crisp, angled finishes that give a slightly calligraphic, engraved feel. Proportions are balanced and text-oriented: capitals are stately and not overly wide, lowercase forms are open and steady, and counters remain generous for clarity. The numerals follow the same quiet rhythm, with smooth curves and understated finishing details that keep the overall texture even in paragraphs.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, articles, and other editorial settings where an even texture and clear counters matter. It can also support headlines and pull quotes when a restrained, traditional voice is desired, especially in cultural, academic, or institutional materials.
The tone is classical and composed, suggesting bookish refinement rather than display exuberance. Its flared endings add a subtle warmth and tradition, evoking editorial typography and institutional seriousness without feeling heavy or ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable reading face with a distinct but understated signature: flared, wedge-like serifs and crisp terminals that add elegance and structure while keeping paragraph color controlled.
In text, the letterfit and spacing produce a calm, consistent color, while the sharpened wedge terminals and slightly sculpted joins add definition at larger sizes. The design avoids extreme quirks, relying on small, repeatable finishing moves to create character and cohesion across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
