A refined serif with subtly flared stroke endings and a calm, vertical stance. Strokes show moderate contrast, with tapered terminals that broaden into soft wedge-like feet rather than hard, bracketed slabs. The proportions lean condensed, and the overall rhythm is steady and slightly calligraphic, with crisp joins and smooth curves that keep counters open and legible. Uppercase forms feel stately and narrow, while lowercase maintains a balanced, readable texture with a tidy, traditional construction.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired, including long-form reading, magazines, and cultured branding. The condensed proportions make it effective for space-conscious headlines and subheads, while the controlled contrast and open counters support comfortable text setting at typical print sizes.
The tone is classic and literary, suggesting printed page tradition and measured formality. Its restrained contrast and gentle flaring add a quiet elegance without becoming ornate, giving text a composed, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif expectations with a gentle flared modulation, providing a more sculpted, calligraphic finish than a standard book serif. It aims for a compact, dignified texture that reads cleanly while adding subtle personality at display sizes.
In running text, the font produces a compact color with clear word shapes and a slightly engraved feel at larger sizes. Numerals appear straightforward and bookish, matching the letterforms’ tapered, flared finish for consistent typographic texture.
