A compact serif with subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. Stems are relatively sturdy with moderate thick–thin modulation, while curves transition smoothly into terminals. The uppercase shows tall, narrow proportions and crisp joins, and the lowercase maintains a traditional, readable skeleton with rounded bowls and restrained apertures. Numerals and punctuation match the text color well, keeping a consistent rhythm and a clean, print-oriented texture in paragraph settings.
Well suited to book typography, magazine layouts, and other long-form editorial work where a compact measure and clear rhythm are helpful. It also performs nicely for headlines and subheads, especially in contexts that benefit from a classic, cultivated voice such as cultural institutions, publishing imprints, and refined brand identities.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a quietly authoritative presence. Its flared detailing adds a hint of calligraphic warmth, balancing formality with approachability and giving headlines a slightly engraved, bookish character.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional serif reading experience with a slightly sculpted, flared finish—aiming for strong legibility and a composed, editorial tone while retaining a touch of humanist warmth.
Spacing appears even and controlled, producing a steady vertical cadence in running text. The design leans on classical proportions and consistent serif treatment rather than overt stylization, helping it stay composed at both display sizes and text sizes.
