This typeface is a high-contrast serif with gently flared, bracketed terminals that give many strokes a subtle, calligraphic taper. Capitals feel stately and open, with crisp, sharp apexes on forms like A and V and rounded, softly modulated curves on C, G, and O. The lowercase shows an oldstyle-like rhythm: rounded bowls, tapered joins, and asymmetrical details such as a double-storey a and a distinctive g with a generous lower loop. Serifs are not blocky; they transition smoothly from stems, and the overall texture reads even and airy despite the strong thick–thin modulation.
It is well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. The pronounced contrast and crisp capitals also make it effective for display use such as headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, especially when paired with generous leading and comfortable measure.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, balancing elegance with approachability. The flared endings and calligraphic modulation add a slightly humanist warmth, while the crisp capitals and clean spacing keep it feeling formal and composed. It conveys a traditional, editorial sensibility suited to authoritative or literary contexts.
The design appears intended to evoke classical serif tradition while adding a distinctive flared terminal treatment for character and warmth. Its proportions and spacing aim for a calm, readable rhythm in paragraphs, while the high-contrast modulation provides a sense of sophistication for titles and prominent text.
Numerals follow the same contrast and flare logic as the letters, with curvy figures (notably 2, 3, and 5) and a slender 1 that stays understated. Round letters maintain clear interior space, and the design avoids overly tight apertures, supporting clarity in continuous text. The italic is not shown; the samples indicate a steady, upright cadence with consistent stroke logic across sizes.
