A classical serif with subtly flared, bracketed terminals that broaden into the serifs, giving strokes a gently calligraphic swell. The proportions feel balanced and text-ready, with open counters and steady spacing that keep paragraphs even and readable. Uppercase forms are dignified and slightly narrow in presence, while the lowercase shows clear modulation and sturdy verticals; details like the two-storey “g” and the long, elegant “y” descender reinforce a bookish, traditional texture. Numerals follow the same logic, with smooth curves and firm, tapered endings that maintain a consistent rhythm.
Well suited to long-form reading—books, journals, and editorial layouts—where its steady rhythm and open shapes support comfortable text. It also performs nicely for refined headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that calls for a traditional, cultured serif voice.
The overall tone is formal and literary, projecting credibility and restraint rather than novelty. Its flared, ink-trap-free shaping reads as humanist and quietly authoritative, suitable for contexts that want classic polish without looking overly ornate.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic book serifs through flared, gently swelling stroke endings, creating a typeface that feels traditional and authoritative while staying crisp and contemporary in reproduction.
In running text, the face produces a dark-but-controlled color, with punctuation and diacritics that sit cleanly and don’t distract. Curved letters (C, O, Q, e, c) show smooth, confident bowls, while straight strokes finish with small, deliberate flares that add character at display sizes as well.
