This typeface presents a high-contrast serif structure with tapered, subtly swelling stems that open into flared serif endings rather than square slabs. Curves are generously rounded with a smooth, calligraphic modulation, and the serifs feel softly bracketed, giving joins and terminals a carved, organic finish. Proportions read as bookish and traditional: capitals are stately and moderately wide, while the lowercase shows a short x-height with comparatively tall ascenders and descenders, producing an elegant vertical rhythm. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and some descenders, reinforcing a text-oriented, classical tone.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a classical serif texture is desirable, and it also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and magazine titling. Its refined contrast and flared terminals make it a good match for literary branding, cultural institutions, and formal materials such as programs and invitations.
Overall it conveys a poised, literary mood—measured and cultivated rather than loud. The sharp-thin hairlines and flared endings add a touch of sophistication and ceremony, making the voice feel historical, editorial, and quietly authoritative.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with a more sculpted, flared-terminal finish, aiming for an elegant text voice that remains distinctive in display use. Its short x-height and oldstyle figures suggest a priority on traditional proportions and typographic tone over a purely utilitarian, modern texture.
In the sample text, the lively stroke contrast and flared terminals create a distinctive texture at display sizes, while the compact x-height and pronounced extenders give paragraphs an airy, traditional color. The italics are not shown; the visible style reads as a consistent upright roman with expressive terminals and a restrained, formal stance.
