This typeface is a serif design with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that create a smooth, calligraphic transition into terminals. Strokes show moderated contrast and rounded joins, giving curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) a polished, even rhythm. Capitals feel stately and slightly wide in presence, while the lowercase maintains a steady reading color with softly tapered stems and rounded shoulders. Numerals are proportional and oldstyle-leaning in feel, with curved forms and modest detailing that aligns with the text face character.
It suits long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The capital shapes and flared detailing also work well for tasteful headlines, pull quotes, and brand applications that call for a refined, established feel.
Overall it reads as classic and literary, with a quietly formal tone. The flared endings and softened contrast add warmth, suggesting tradition without looking overly ornate or sharp.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on an oldstyle-inspired serif, using flared terminals and moderated contrast to balance classical elegance with comfortable text readability.
The italic is not shown; the visible roman emphasizes smooth tapering at terminals rather than hard-cut ends, which keeps paragraphs looking calm and cohesive at larger text sizes.
