This serif typeface shows gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that give stems a subtly tapered, calligraphic finish rather than hard, blocky terminals. Curves are smooth and open, with moderate stroke modulation and a crisp, well-controlled join structure. Uppercase forms are stately with pointed apexes (notably in A and V/W) and clean, slightly condensed proportions, while lowercase maintains clear counters and readable apertures. Numerals appear traditional and proportional in feel, with elegant curves and restrained detailing that matches the text rhythm.
It suits editorial typography such as magazines, long-form articles, and book interiors where a classical serif voice is desired. It can also work well for refined branding, cultural institutions, and packaging that benefits from a traditional, crafted tone, especially in headlines and subheads.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, projecting an editorial seriousness with a touch of old-style warmth. The flared endings and modest contrast add a crafted, humanist refinement that feels formal without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with flared, calligraphy-informed terminals to create a dignified reading face that feels crafted and contemporary enough for modern editorial use.
In text, the face maintains a steady vertical rhythm and a relatively calm color, with distinctive flaring at terminals that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. The forms favor clarity over display eccentricity, making the personality come through as subtle finishing details rather than dramatic contrast.
