A transitional serif with gently flared, bracketed terminals that broaden into wedge-like serifs, giving strokes a subtly calligraphic finish. The contrast is moderate and consistent, with rounded joins and smooth curves that keep the texture even in continuous text. Uppercase forms are sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase shows open apertures and readable shapes; the roman ‘g’ is double-storey and the ‘a’ is two-storey, reinforcing an editorial, bookish rhythm. Numerals are lining and clearly differentiated, matching the letterforms with the same tapered stroke endings and steady proportions.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture supports comfortable scanning. It also works for institutional or cultural branding, title pages, and pull quotes that benefit from a refined, traditional presence.
The overall tone feels established and literary—confident without being ornate. Its flared endings and calm contrast add a quiet formality that reads as traditional, credible, and slightly historic, suitable for content that benefits from an authoritative voice.
Likely drawn to deliver a dependable text serif with a hint of inscriptional flare—balancing classical proportions and moderate contrast with gently widening terminals to add warmth and distinction while maintaining high readability.
The capitals present clean, conventional silhouettes with softened corners, and the ‘Q’ includes a distinct tail that adds character without disrupting the line. In the sample paragraph, word shapes remain stable and legible at large sizes, with a composed, book-like color and no harsh sparkle from the serifs.
