A refined serif with noticeable contrast and tapered, slightly flared stroke endings that give stems a subtly sculpted finish. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with crisp joins and clean curves, producing a disciplined rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Proportions are compact with relatively tight counters and a straightforward, upright construction; round letters stay smooth and controlled while diagonals and arms remain clean and uncluttered. Numerals are sturdy and clear, matching the same contrast and terminal behavior for consistent texture in text and display settings.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form articles where a classic serif tone is desired. It also performs effectively for headlines, deck copy, and institutional branding that benefits from a confident, traditional voice.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a bookish, editorial character. Its crisp serifs and controlled contrast convey seriousness and reliability, while the gentle flare at terminals adds a hint of elegance without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with added refinement through subtly flared terminals. It balances text practicality with a dignified presence, aiming for clarity and authority while providing enough detailing to stand out in editorial and branding contexts.
In text, the face maintains an even, composed color with clear word shapes and strong vertical emphasis. The design’s tapered terminals help prevent the letterforms from feeling blunt, giving headlines and pull quotes a slightly calligraphic edge while staying firmly typographic and restrained.
