A serif typeface with subtly flared, wedge-like stroke endings and modest stroke modulation. Serifs are compact and bracketed, with crisp, slightly sheared terminals that give stems a gentle splay at the ends. Proportions are balanced and readable, with roomy counters in round letters and fairly open apertures in forms like C, S, and e. The overall rhythm is steady and text-forward, while the capitals show a touch of classical refinement in their tapered diagonals and understated detailing.
It performs well for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture is desired. The sturdy capitals and clean numerals also suit headings, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a classic tone.
The font communicates a traditional, literary tone with an understated premium feel. Its flared finishing adds warmth and authority without becoming ornate, keeping the voice composed and editorial. The overall impression is confident and conventional, suitable for content that aims to feel established and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable serif for continuous text while adding distinction through flared terminals rather than high contrast or elaborate ornament. It balances traditional book typography cues with a slightly contemporary sharpness in joins and terminals for clarity across sizes.
Numerals are clear and sturdy with old-style-like softness in curves and terminals, and the lining figures sit comfortably alongside the capitals. The italic is not shown; the upright design relies on terminal shaping and mild contrast rather than strong calligraphic stress for character.
