A serif typeface with tapered, subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that give stems a gently chiseled silhouette. The design stays in a low-contrast range, with sturdy main strokes and clean, controlled curves, producing an even rhythm in text. Uppercase forms feel stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows traditional detailing—single-storey a and g, a narrow, pointed w, and compact joins that keep counters open and readable. Numerals are lining and fairly traditional in construction, with restrained curvature and clear differentiation between figures.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features, where its steady texture and traditional serif detailing help guide the eye. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural materials that benefit from a timeless, formal voice.
The overall tone is classical and composed, leaning toward literary and institutional rather than playful. Its flared finishing and measured proportions evoke a quiet elegance—more crafted than utilitarian—while remaining straightforward enough for continuous reading.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional reading experience with an added sense of craft through flared terminals and carefully bracketed serifs. It balances classic proportions with crisp finishing to feel authoritative and refined while maintaining solid text performance.
The letterforms show small, sharp accents at terminals (notably in V/W/X and the ends of verticals), which adds a slightly engraved or stone-cut impression without becoming decorative. Spacing appears comfortable and consistent in the paragraph sample, supporting a steady text color.
