This typeface shows a traditional serif skeleton with subtly flared stems and tapered, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are crisp and slightly bracketed, with a calligraphic feel where strokes thicken into the ends rather than stopping abruptly. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous, and overall proportions read as balanced and moderately formal. The lowercase has a straightforward, bookish construction (notably in a two-storey “a” and “g”), while capitals carry steady verticals and clean, slightly sculpted joins that keep the texture even in text.
It will perform especially well in editorial settings such as books, essays, and magazine typography, where its steady serif rhythm supports extended reading. The capitals and numerals also make it effective for refined headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a traditional, credible tone.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a composed, slightly old-style seriousness. Its flared endings and sharpened terminals add a hint of hand-influenced elegance, giving it an authoritative voice without feeling ornate. The impression is suited to traditional institutions and long-established brands that want credibility and restraint.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with gently flared stroke endings to add warmth and distinction. It aims for a dependable text face texture while providing enough character in terminals and serifs to stand out in display sizes.
In running text, the rhythm stays calm and consistent, with clear differentiation between similar forms and comfortable interior spacing. The figures appear lining and proportionally consistent with the capitals, supporting a tidy, formal typographic color.
