A text-oriented serif with sturdy, slightly tapered stems that subtly flare into the serifs, giving the letters a grounded, carved-in feel. Serifs are sharply defined and mostly bracketed, with crisp terminals and a consistent stroke rhythm. Proportions read balanced and traditional, with round forms that stay fairly compact and counters that remain open for clarity. Uppercase shapes are stately and even, while lowercase forms keep a steady cadence; numerals are clear and proportionate, with old-style-like warmth despite the overall straightforward construction.
Well-suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, magazines, and institutional or business documents where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also holds up for headlines and pull quotes, where the flared serif detail can add a subtle premium feel without overpowering the layout.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, projecting authority and polish without feeling overly decorative. Its crisp serifs and calm proportions create a confident, editorial voice suited to serious or refined content.
Likely designed as a versatile, traditional serif for comfortable reading, combining classic proportions with slightly flared, crisp serifs to add personality and firmness across both text and moderate display sizes.
The font maintains a consistent vertical stress and disciplined spacing in running text, producing a stable gray value. Distinctive serif flare and crisp junctions add character at display sizes while still reading cleanly in paragraphs.
