A compact serif with softly flared stroke endings and restrained contrast. The capitals are stately and slightly condensed, with sharp apexes and tapered terminals that widen into small, bracket-like serifs. Lowercase forms are clean and conventional, with a compact rhythm, rounded bowls, and modestly cupped joins; ascenders and descenders feel balanced rather than exaggerated. Numerals are sturdy and readable, matching the letterforms with the same tapered-to-flared finishing and consistent stroke color.
Well suited to editorial typography where a classic serif texture is desired, including magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes. It can also serve effectively in headlines and refined branding applications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting a reserved, traditional voice rather than a decorative one. Its crisp serifs and controlled proportions give it an editorial seriousness that feels established and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif letterform conventions with subtle flared terminals to add warmth and distinction while keeping a disciplined, readable texture for longer passages.
In text, the font keeps a steady texture with clear word shapes and a slightly tightened spacing feel, which reinforces a composed, formal appearance. The flaring at terminals adds a subtle calligraphic warmth without becoming ornate.
