This typeface presents a traditional serif structure with bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke terminals that broaden as they meet the ends. Strokes show moderated contrast, with smoothly curved joins and a steady, even color in text. Uppercase forms are proportioned and open, with a restrained, classical rhythm; lowercase shapes are round and readable with a conventional x-height and clear counters. Details like the ear on the lowercase g and the curved tail on Q add a mildly calligraphic finish without becoming ornate.
Well-suited to editorial and book typography where a traditional serif voice and comfortable readability are needed. It can also serve in academic, legal, or institutional materials, and in branding contexts that benefit from a classic, established feel.
The overall tone is classic and composed, evoking book typography and institutional communication. It feels formal and trustworthy, with a refined, literary character that suits serious, long-form reading as well as dignified display settings.
The design intention appears to be a modern, workhorse serif with a classical foundation, using gentle flaring and bracketed serifs to add warmth and finish while maintaining clarity in continuous reading. It aims for a dependable, cultured voice that scales from text to headings without losing composure.
Numerals appear lining and text-like, with clear differentiation between figures and smooth curves on 2, 3, and 9. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright with consistent spacing and steady baseline behavior.
