This serif features gently flared stems and subtly bracketed serifs that widen toward the ends rather than terminating in blunt slabs. Strokes are mostly even in weight with restrained modulation, giving the letterforms a steady, workmanlike rhythm. Capitals are sharp and slightly sculpted, with pointed apexes and crisp entry/exit strokes; round forms stay fairly compact and controlled. The lowercase shows a traditional text-face build with a modest x-height, compact bowls, and tapered joins, plus a single-storey “g” and a hooked “f,” reinforcing an oldstyle-leaning texture. Numerals follow the same restrained, sculpted logic, with clear shapes and small finishing flicks at terminals.
It is well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine articles where a traditional serif texture is desirable. The sculpted capitals and noticeable flared terminals also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and formal titling that needs a classic, authoritative voice without high-contrast sparkle.
Overall, the font reads as classical and literary, with an understated elegance that suggests established print typography. The flared endings add a touch of warmth and craft without becoming decorative, keeping the tone serious and composed.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, traditionally grounded serif with a subtly expressive finish. By relying on flared terminals and restrained modulation, it aims to deliver a classic print feel while maintaining clarity and consistency across mixed-case text and numerals.
In paragraph settings the tight, consistent stroke color and compact curves create a dense but orderly texture. The distinctive flaring at terminals is visible in both text and display sizes, adding character while remaining conservative.
