A poised serif with moderate stroke modulation and subtly flared, tapering terminals that give stems a gently expanding finish. Serifs are bracketed and clean, with crisp joins and smooth curves that keep counters open and shapes stable. Capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with a compact, readable build and slightly calligraphic tension in letters like a, e, and s. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in silhouette, with varied heights and elegant curves that match the text color.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and open forms support comfortable text. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, institutional branding, and cultural or academic materials that benefit from a classic, credible tone.
The overall tone is bookish and authoritative, projecting tradition and editorial seriousness. Its flared endings add a quiet warmth and humanist touch, keeping the voice refined rather than rigid.
The design appears intended as a versatile serif for continuous reading with a traditional, slightly calligraphic finish. The restrained contrast and flared terminals suggest an effort to balance historic elegance with dependable modern page performance.
In paragraph setting the face holds a consistent gray value with clear word shapes and a calm cadence. The combination of tapered terminals and moderate contrast helps it read as classical without looking overly ornamental, making it comfortable for extended text while still feeling distinctive in display sizes.
