A serif text face with clearly bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings, giving stems a gently tapered, calligraphic feel. Proportions are fairly traditional with a steady rhythm and moderate spacing; curves are smooth and open while joins come to crisp points in letters like V, W, and Y. The lowercase shows a conventional two-storey a and g, a slightly angled crossbar on e, and a compact, readable bowl structure across b/p/q. Numerals are lining and evenly proportioned, with distinct, old-style-inspired shaping in forms like the 2 and 3 and a clean, round 0.
Works well for long-form reading in books and essays, as well as magazine features and other editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. The crisp capitals and distinctive Q/R make it suitable for titling, cultural branding, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs.
The overall tone feels bookish and authoritative, with a calm, classical voice suited to serious reading. Flared terminals and sharp inner joins add a hint of crafted elegance, keeping the texture lively without becoming ornamental.
Likely designed as a versatile, classical serif that maintains comfortable readability while adding character through flared terminals and refined, calligraphy-adjacent shaping. The intent appears to be an all-purpose text face that also holds up for headings with a dignified, literary presence.
Capitals are stately and well balanced, with strong vertical emphasis and restrained modulation. The Q has a prominent, sweeping tail, and the R leg and K diagonals introduce energetic, angled strokes that contrast nicely with the round letters. In paragraph text the color is even and legible, with enough stroke shaping to remain distinctive at display sizes.
