A compact serif with an oldstyle, slightly calligraphic build and bracketed serifs that transition into subtly flared terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth, tapered joins, giving the letters a sculpted feel without becoming delicate. Counters are relatively open for the width, and curves (C, G, S, e) are round and steady, while diagonals (V, W, X) stay sharp and well balanced. The lowercase features a two-storey a and g, a compact shoulder on n/m, and a modestly angled stress that reads clearly in continuous text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also carry section heads and headlines effectively, especially in print-oriented compositions, and works well for premium packaging or identity systems that benefit from a traditional, cultivated tone.
The overall tone is bookish and editorial, with a traditional, authoritative voice. Its restrained contrast and shaped terminals add a touch of warmth and craft, supporting a refined, literary atmosphere rather than a stark or purely modern one.
Likely designed to provide a familiar, readable serif voice with a slightly crafted, flared-terminal signature—balancing traditional text ergonomics with enough personality to stand out in editorial and branding settings.
Capitals feel slightly display-leaning due to their strong serif presence and confident verticals, while the lowercase maintains an even rhythm suited to paragraphs. Numerals appear sturdy and legible, matching the text color and proportions of the alphabet without drawing undue attention.
