A refined serif with softly bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes that suggest broad‑nib influence without becoming overtly calligraphic. Curves are smooth and open, with moderate, graceful modulation and crisp terminals; verticals read steady while joins and shoulders show subtle swelling. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are stately and evenly set, lowercase has a balanced rhythm with clear counters, and numerals follow an old-style, text-friendly manner with varying heights and lively curves.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The nuanced terminals and elegant modulation also make it effective for chapter titles, pull quotes, and formal materials such as invitations or programs, especially when set with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is cultured and polished, conveying a quiet sense of tradition and editorial authority. Its delicate finishing and flowing curves lend a slightly romantic, literary character, making it feel at home in classic, high-minded contexts rather than utilitarian or industrial ones.
The design appears aimed at a classic text serif with a touch of calligraphic refinement—prioritizing readability and a steady rhythm while adding tasteful, characterful terminals for a more distinguished voice in display and editorial use.
Several letters show distinctive, slightly flared or hooked terminals and a gentle softness at serif transitions, which adds personality at display sizes while remaining composed in running text. The spacing and rhythm appear even, supporting paragraph settings while still offering expressive details in larger headlines.
