A restrained serif with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs that give the outlines a sculpted, chiseled feel. Contrast is moderate, with smooth transitions between thick and thin strokes and a steady vertical stress. Capitals are broad and stately with sharp apexes and tapered arms, while lowercase forms keep an even rhythm and a compact, readable texture. Numerals are sturdy and conventional, with clear open counters and balanced widths that sit comfortably alongside text.
Well-suited to long-form editorial and book typography where a classic serif texture is desired, and it also performs convincingly in headlines and subheads thanks to its crisp serifs and stable proportions. The refined, traditional tone can support institutional branding, certificates, and formal print materials where a composed, trustworthy impression is important.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, leaning toward an established, authoritative voice rather than a trendy or playful one. Its flared terminals add a faint calligraphic warmth that softens the formality, making it feel polished and composed.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif model by using controlled contrast and flared, sculptural terminals to add warmth and distinction. It aims for dependable readability in text while retaining enough detail to feel premium at display sizes.
In text, the face holds a strong baseline and consistent spacing, producing a dense but orderly color suitable for continuous reading. The flaring at terminals and serifs becomes more noticeable at larger sizes, where it adds character without turning decorative.
