This typeface presents a traditional serif structure with subtly flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions, and curves are full and controlled, giving round letters (C, O, Q) a steady, even rhythm. Capitals are relatively tall and stately, while the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with compact, bookish proportions. The italics are not shown; the roman exhibits tidy terminals, a two-storey “g,” and a single-storey “a,” with a slightly calligraphic feel in the way stems widen as they meet their endings. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with noticeable ascenders/descenders, contributing to a classic text color.
It suits extended reading in books and long-form editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and moderate contrast support comfortable text. The distinctive but restrained flaring also works well for headings, pull quotes, and other editorial accents that benefit from a classic, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is scholarly and composed, evoking a printed-book sensibility with a quietly expressive, humanist warmth. Its flared detailing adds a touch of elegance without becoming ornate, keeping the voice appropriate for serious, curated typography.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with subtle flare-driven character, aiming for a timeless, print-oriented voice that remains polished in contemporary editorial settings.
Spacing in the samples reads even and text-friendly, producing a consistent gray at paragraph sizes. The flaring and bracketing are restrained, so the face remains clean and legible while still signaling a historically informed serif style.
