A traditional serif with subtly flared, bracketed terminals and a gently sculpted stroke feel. The forms are sturdy and readable, with moderate proportions, a calm rhythm, and rounded joins that keep the texture even in paragraph settings. Serifs are tapered and slightly splayed rather than slabby, and curves (C, G, S, O) are full and smooth. Lowercase shows a compact, workmanlike build with a two-storey a, a looped g, and clear, open counters, while numerals are sturdy and lining in appearance.
Well-suited to extended reading in books and long-form editorial layouts where a stable, familiar serif texture is desired. It also holds up in headlines and branding that aim for heritage, credibility, or an institutional feel, especially when paired with generous leading.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, with a literary, editorial voice. Its softly calligraphic flare and traditional construction add warmth and a touch of formality without feeling delicate or fashion-driven.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional, highly legible serif with a subtle flared finish—balancing traditional book typography cues with enough sculpting to feel distinctive in titles and pull quotes.
Capital shapes read confident and slightly monumental, with a broad, steady presence in display sizes. In text, the letterforms maintain clear differentiation (notably I/l, a/e, and the rounded letters), producing a composed, book-page color.
