This typeface presents a traditional serif construction with subtly flared, bracketed terminals that broaden as strokes meet the serif-like endings. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation and a steady, even rhythm, with open counters and clear interior space. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly wide-set, while the lowercase maintains straightforward, readable shapes with sturdy verticals and compact joins. The overall drawing is crisp and controlled, with refined curves and consistent detailing across letters and numerals.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a familiar, comfortable serif texture is desirable. It also performs effectively in magazine headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a traditional, confident typographic presence.
The tone is classic and cultivated, evoking book typography and institutional publishing. Its measured contrast and flared endings give it an authoritative, composed voice that reads as serious without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, publishing-oriented serif with a hint of flared, calligraphic character—balancing legibility and tradition with slightly expressive stroke endings for added personality.
Serif details lean toward gently tapered, wedge-like endings rather than hard slabs, which adds warmth and a touch of calligraphic influence. Numerals are robust and clear, matching the text color and proportions of the letters for consistent paragraph texture.
