A refined serif with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that feel drawn rather than mechanically cut. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions and rounded joins, giving curves a polished, even rhythm. The capitals are relatively narrow and elegant, with ample interior space in letters like C, O, and G, while the lowercase maintains clear, open counters and steady spacing. Numerals share the same tapered, old-style-inflected feel, with distinct shapes and smooth terminals that keep the texture consistent in running text.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and long-form reading where a calm, traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely in headlines, pull quotes, and cultural or institutional branding that benefits from a classic, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting an educated, composed voice rather than a loud or decorative one. Its slight calligraphic influence adds warmth and tradition, making it feel appropriate for established institutions and editorial settings. The font reads as confident and formal without becoming severe.
Likely designed to offer a contemporary take on a traditional serif, combining readable proportions with subtly flared terminals to create a distinctive, graceful texture. The goal appears to be versatility across text and display while maintaining an unmistakably classic voice.
The flaring at terminals is noticeable across straight strokes (such as I, T, and l) and helps soften word shapes at text sizes. Round letters keep a clean, controlled contour, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain sharp and well balanced, contributing to a crisp, even page color.
