A sturdy serif with subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that give stems a gently widened, chiseled finish. Proportions are traditional with a steady rhythm, clear vertical stress, and moderate thick–thin modulation that reads cleanly in text. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed in posture, while the lowercase maintains open counters and compact terminals; small details like the ear and hooks show controlled, calligraphic shaping rather than geometric construction. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel with smooth curves and consistent weight distribution, matching the text color of the letters.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and moderate contrast maintain comfortable legibility. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional communications that want a traditional, authoritative tone without heavy ornament.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with an academic, editorial voice. The flared endings add a subtle historical flavor—more humanist and literary than purely modern—while staying composed and professional.
Likely designed to provide a refined, text-first serif with a touch of historical warmth, using flared, bracketed finishing to add character while keeping a controlled, versatile texture for continuous reading.
Curves are drawn with confident, continuous arcs and the joins are carefully moderated, avoiding sharp mechanical corners. The font produces an even page color at paragraph sizes, with enough character in terminals and serifs to feel distinctive without becoming decorative.
