A restrained serif with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs. Strokes stay fairly even while tapering into sharp, wedge-like terminals, giving letters a crisp silhouette without feeling heavy. Proportions are balanced and traditional, with generous internal space and clean, open counters that keep paragraphs clear. The lowercase shows tidy, compact forms with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a firm, vertical rhythm, and neatly finished joins; numerals align with the same understated, classical construction.
Well-suited to body text in books and long-form editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely for magazine headlines, institutional or cultural branding, and formal printed materials that benefit from a crisp, classical voice.
The overall tone feels bookish and editorial, projecting calm authority and a lightly classical polish. Its sharp terminals and controlled taper add a hint of sophistication and ceremony without becoming ornate or delicate.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with subtly flared, tapered endings for a clean, contemporary take on a literary text face. It aims for dependable readability in paragraphs while retaining enough character for display settings.
The uppercase has a stately presence with steady spacing and a slightly chiseled finish at terminals, while the lowercase maintains strong readability in running text. Round letters (like O, C, and o) appear smooth and spacious, helping the face stay legible at text sizes while still offering a refined headline look.
