A serif typeface with tapered, subtly flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that give the outlines a carved, calligraphic feel. Proportions are balanced and readable, with moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes and smooth, continuous curves in bowls and counters. Uppercase forms are stately and open, while the lowercase shows traditional shapes with clear differentiation (notably the two-storey a and g) and crisp terminals. Numerals follow the same text-like rhythm, with familiar, old-style-influenced forms and clear interior spacing.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its traditional serif rhythm supports comfortable scanning. It also works effectively for dignified headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a classic, composed voice.
The overall tone is classical and composed, projecting a literary, editorial character rather than a loud display voice. Its tapered finishes and measured contrast add refinement and a slightly traditional warmth, lending an authoritative, trustworthy impression.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif conventions with subtly flared, tapered terminals to increase elegance and visual liveliness while preserving strong readability. It aims for a dependable text face that can also carry formal display moments without changing personalities.
In text, the face maintains an even color and steady horizontal rhythm, with clean joins and consistent curvature that keep paragraphs calm and legible. The tapered endings create a gentle sparkle at larger sizes without looking sharp or brittle.
