A refined serif with subtly flared stroke endings and pronounced bracketed serifs that give the letterforms a carved, tapering feel. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation without becoming hairline-fragile, and the joins are clean and decisive. Proportions are vertical and somewhat compact, with a comparatively tall x-height that keeps lowercase forms sturdy in running text. Capitals are sharply drawn with confident terminals and a traditional, bookish skeleton, while numerals echo the same contrast and serif treatment for a consistent texture.
Well-suited for editorial design, book interiors, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in headlines and subheads, and can support institutional or heritage-leaning branding where clarity and formality are priorities.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, evoking established publishing and academic settings. Its crisp contrast and flared finishing strokes add a touch of ceremony and gravitas, making it feel composed and intentional rather than casual.
Likely designed to blend traditional serif conventions with more sculpted, flared endings to create a distinctive yet familiar reading experience. The goal appears to be a dependable text face with enough character in the terminals and contrast to stand out in refined display settings.
The rhythm in text is even and upright, with strong baseline presence and clear counters that help paragraphs maintain a steady, typographic color. The flaring and bracketing at terminals creates a gentle emphasis at stroke ends, lending a slightly engraved, old-style sensibility while remaining clean and contemporary in execution.
