A serif typeface with moderate contrast and subtly flared, bracketed terminals that give stems a gently sculpted feel. Proportions are on the wide side with generous internal space, open apertures, and sturdy horizontals that keep the color even in text. The serifs read as tapered and slightly wedge-like rather than blocky, with crisp joins and a steady, upright rhythm. Numerals and capitals carry the same measured, slightly calligraphic modulation, producing a confident, durable texture at both display and reading sizes.
Well-suited to editorial design where a classic serif voice is needed—magazines, books, essays, and institutional communications. It can also carry headlines and subheads effectively, providing a confident, traditional tone for branding and packaging that benefits from a refined, literary texture.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a composed, authoritative presence. Its flared endings and restrained contrast add a touch of warmth and humanist character while still feeling formal and established.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif familiarity with slightly flared, calligraphic shaping, aiming for dependable readability and a distinctive, dignified voice. It prioritizes steady rhythm and open forms to perform across both text and larger sizes without losing character.
Diagonal forms (like V/W/X) appear sharp and well-anchored, and round letters maintain clear, open bowls that avoid claustrophobic dark spots. The lowercase shows a conventional, readable structure, supporting continuous text without looking mechanical.
