A traditional serif with subtly flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that give stems a gently tapered feel. Proportions run on the broad side with open counters and a steady, readable rhythm. Contrast is moderate, with rounded joins and smooth curves that keep the overall texture even in paragraph settings. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and formal, while the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g and a lightly calligraphic flow in curves and terminals.
Well-suited for book typography, long-form editorial, and publication design where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional branding that benefits from a traditional, authoritative voice without looking overly ornate.
The tone is classic and literary, leaning toward established, trustworthy communication rather than overtly modern minimalism. Its flared details add a quiet warmth and a slightly old-style, print-forward character that feels at home in text-rich contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, highly readable serif with a touch of flared refinement, balancing traditional letterforms with enough openness and width to stay clear in continuous reading. The goal seems to be dependable text performance paired with a slightly distinctive, crafted finish at terminals and serifs.
Capitals are clear and stately, with strong vertical presence, while numerals appear proportionate and readable with familiar lining-style forms. The W is notably angular and weighty, and round letters (O, Q) maintain smooth, open interiors that support legibility at display and text sizes.
