A refined serif with gently flared stroke endings and small, bracketed serifs that create a subtle calligraphic expansion at terminals. The letterforms show moderate stroke modulation and a smooth, even rhythm, with open counters and carefully tapered joins. Uppercase proportions feel stately and balanced, while lowercase forms remain clear and readable, with a two-storey “g” and a compact, well-supported “e.” Numerals are lining and harmonious with the capitals, featuring clean curves and restrained terminals that keep the texture consistent in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine features, where the steady rhythm and open counters support comfortable text color. It also works effectively for formal editorial headlines, pull quotes, and institutional materials that need a classic, trustworthy voice without heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking book typography and editorial authority. Its controlled contrast and flared detailing add a hint of craft and warmth without becoming ornate, giving it a quietly sophisticated, literary character.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with subtle flared, calligraphic nuance, producing a polished text face with enough personality for editorial styling. It aims for a balanced, classical presence that remains practical across paragraphs and larger display sizes.
In paragraphs, the font builds an even gray value with crisp edges and steady spacing, suggesting it is designed to hold up in continuous reading. The flaring at stroke ends provides distinct word shapes and a slightly engraved feel, especially visible on diagonals and curved terminals.
