A crisp serif with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs, showing a measured contrast between thick and thin strokes. Curves are smooth and fairly open, with moderate, even spacing and a steady baseline rhythm. Capitals feel stately and proportioned with clear vertical stress, while the lowercase maintains readable, open counters and a straightforward, upright stance. Numerals are elegant and text-friendly, with traditional proportions and clean joins.
Well suited to long-form text in books and editorial layouts, where its controlled contrast and open shapes support comfortable reading. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, institutional branding, and formal communications where a traditional but slightly expressive serif is desired.
The overall tone is composed and cultivated, leaning toward a classical, bookish sensibility. Its flared terminals add a quiet touch of calligraphic warmth, keeping the texture from feeling overly rigid while still reading as formal and polished.
Likely designed to provide a dependable, classic text serif with a subtle flared character—aiming for a refined reading texture that feels traditional, with just enough stroke modulation and terminal shaping to add personality in display sizes.
The design balances sharp, tapered details (notably in diagonals and terminals) with sturdy main stems, producing a refined page color. Forms like the double-storey “a” and “g” and the balanced, restrained “S” and “R” reinforce a conventional, editorial voice suited to continuous reading.
