A refined serif with gently flared terminals and modest, bracketed serifs that soften joins and keep the texture even. Strokes stay relatively consistent in weight with subtle modulation, while verticals remain steady and the curves are clean and open. Capitals feel tall and composed with controlled proportions; lowercase forms are compact and readable with rounded bowls and tapered endings. Numerals appear oldstyle in structure, with varied heights and descending forms, contributing to a traditional, bookish color in running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady, traditional texture is desirable. It also works for chapter heads, pull quotes, and institutional materials that need a classic serif voice without heavy contrast.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a quiet formality that reads as established and trustworthy rather than showy. Its tapered stroke endings add a slightly calligraphic warmth, balancing crispness with a human, editorial feel.
Likely designed to provide a dependable, traditional serif for continuous reading, using flared terminals to add softness and heritage character while maintaining clarity and restraint in text sizes.
In text, the rhythm is smooth and restrained, with clear counters and a consistent baseline presence. The ampersand and punctuation match the same controlled flare-and-bracket language, helping longer passages maintain a cohesive, traditional texture.
