A slender serif with a crisp, bookish skeleton and subtly flared stroke endings. Stems stay relatively even in weight, while junctions and terminals broaden gently, creating a soft, tapered finish rather than abrupt slabs. Serifs are small and bracketed, with sharp, clean edges; curves are smooth and moderately elliptical, and the overall rhythm is measured and tidy. Capitals feel stately and slightly compact, while the lowercase remains clear and evenly spaced, with straightforward forms and open apertures that hold up well in text.
This face is well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding systems that benefit from a classic, cultivated voice.
The overall tone is classic and composed, with an understated elegance that reads as literary and editorial. The flared endings add a quiet calligraphic warmth, keeping the font from feeling clinical while still staying formal and controlled.
The design appears intended to provide a familiar serif reading experience while adding distinctive personality through gently flared terminals and restrained, bracketed serifs. It balances traditional proportions with subtle detailing to create an elegant, text-friendly impression.
Numerals follow the same restrained detailing, with clean bowls and modest terminals that match the text color of the letters. The design maintains consistent vertical stress and a calm baseline presence, giving paragraphs a stable, traditional texture without looking overly ornate.
