A classic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a slightly tapered, chiseled finish. The letterforms show moderate contrast and a steady, print-oriented rhythm, with open counters and clear, well-proportioned capitals. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and terminals feel gently calligraphic rather than geometric, lending the design an elegant, traditional texture in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to editorial layout and book typography where a traditional serif texture and comfortable readability are desired. It also works effectively for refined headings, pull quotes, and brand applications that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is formal and literary, evoking book typography and institutional polish. It reads as composed and trustworthy, with enough sharpness in the serifs and terminals to feel authoritative without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, print-classic serif with a subtle flared character—balancing readability and tradition with slightly sharpened, expressive terminals for added distinction.
In text, the font maintains a consistent color with clean punctuation and robust numerals, supporting a clear hierarchy between capitals and lowercase. The tapered, flared endings are most noticeable on verticals and diagonals, adding a distinctive sparkle at larger sizes while remaining restrained in continuous reading.
