A crisp serif with subtly flared, bracketed terminals and moderate stroke modulation that gives the outlines a gently calligraphic feel. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned with sharp, tapered serifs and clean joins, while lowercase forms show more organic rhythm—especially in the curved strokes and the slightly varied character widths. Counters are open and the spacing reads balanced, producing a steady text color that holds together well in continuous reading. Numerals appear proportional with classic, bookish shapes and clear differentiation between forms.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as book interiors and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also support refined branding, cultural institutions, and formal printed materials that benefit from a traditional, authoritative typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, suggesting literary seriousness and institutional polish rather than overt ornament. Its controlled contrast and flared endings add warmth and dignity, giving text an established, trustworthy voice.
The font appears intended as a versatile, general-purpose serif that bridges classical book typography with a slightly modern crispness. Its flared terminals and measured contrast aim to provide an elegant, readable texture for continuous text while remaining distinctive in display settings.
The design leans on transitional/oldstyle cues—noticeable bracketing, tapered stroke endings, and a restrained elegance—while keeping edges sharp enough to feel contemporary in layout. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates consistent texture and readable word shapes at text sizes.
