This typeface is a refined serif with subtly flared, bracketed terminals and a gently calligraphic stroke flow. Capitals show crisp, tapered serifs and clean vertical stress, while round letters (C, G, O, Q) keep smooth, open bowls with restrained modulation. The lowercase features a compact x-height, slender stems, and clear, lightly bracketed serifs; details like the two-storey “g,” the hooked “f,” and the narrow “t” reinforce a bookish, traditional rhythm. Numerals appear proportional with classic shapes and modest contrast, maintaining the same delicate, slightly flared finishing across the set.
It performs well in editorial and long-form composition where a traditional serif voice and controlled texture are desired, such as books, journals, and magazine features. The crisp capitals also support titling, chapter heads, and pull quotes when set with ample tracking and leading.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, evoking the feel of traditional book typography and academic publishing. Its delicate serifs and measured contrast create a quiet authority—more literary than loud—suited to refined, text-forward settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic reading experience with a slightly calligraphic serif treatment, combining formal structure with softly flared terminals to keep text feeling lively yet composed.
Spacing and proportions favor a compact, economical texture, with relatively narrow letterforms and a calm, even color in paragraph-sized sample text. The flared endings soften the silhouette compared with sharper modern serifs, lending a subtle warmth while keeping a crisp, formal edge.
