A crisp serif design with bracketed, slightly flared stroke endings and a balanced, moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with sharp apexes (A, V, W) and clean, confident curves (C, O, Q) that keep counters open. Lowercase forms read smoothly with a traditional rhythm: a double‑storey a, a compact e with a sturdy crossbar, and a g with a pronounced ear and rounded bowl. Numerals share the same formal structure and contrast, with clear shapes and steady vertical stress that feel comfortable alongside text.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady serif rhythm supports comfortable scanning. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and brand or institutional materials that benefit from a traditional, credible voice.
The overall tone is classic and composed, evoking book typography and institutional communication. Its flared finishing and measured contrast lend a subtle calligraphic dignity without becoming decorative, making it feel authoritative yet approachable.
Likely designed to offer a contemporary take on a traditional serif texture, combining dependable text readability with subtly expressive flared terminals for a more crafted finish in display and editorial settings.
The letterforms show careful modulation at terminals and joins, creating a refined texture in paragraphs. Round letters maintain consistent stress and spacing, while the sturdier horizontals and serifs help preserve clarity at larger headline sizes and in continuous reading.
