A transitional, text-oriented serif with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that soften into the stems. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth, slightly calligraphic modulation and subtly sheared joins that add rhythm without feeling decorative. Proportions are balanced and fairly compact, with open counters and clear apertures that keep the texture even in paragraph settings. The lowercase shows a traditional, two-storey a and g, a sturdy, readable e, and a compact rhythm; numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and descenders that integrate naturally with running text.
Well-suited for books, magazines, and other editorial typography where sustained readability and a traditional tone are desired. It can also support refined branding and packaging that benefits from a classic serif presence without overly high contrast.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an editorial seriousness suited to long-form reading. Its flared endings and moderated contrast lend a refined, quietly expressive voice—more warm and classical than stark or modern.
Likely designed as a versatile, print-friendly serif that prioritizes comfortable reading while adding gentle character through flared endings and moderated contrast. The oldstyle numerals and steady text color suggest an emphasis on continuous text and typographic tradition.
The face maintains a consistent vertical stress and a stable baseline presence, producing a dark-but-controlled text color. Uppercase forms read authoritative and well-anchored, while lowercase details (notably the ear and terminals) contribute subtle personality without disrupting legibility.
