A sturdy serif with softly flared, bracketed terminals and a calm, even color on the page. Strokes remain largely uniform with gentle modulation, while curves are generously rounded, giving counters a roomy, open feel. Serifs read as tapered and slightly splayed rather than slabby, and joins are smooth, producing a polished rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Numerals are full and stable, with clear silhouettes suited to running text and headings.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its steady texture and open counters support comfortable scanning. It also performs nicely for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that want a classic serif voice with a slightly softened, contemporary finish.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying reliability and quiet confidence. Its broad proportions and rounded construction keep it approachable rather than severe, while the flared endings add a subtle historical or literary flavor.
The font appears designed to deliver a dependable text serif with a hint of flared personality—balancing tradition and readability while adding gentle warmth through rounded forms and tapered terminals.
Capitals show strong presence with wide footprints and measured spacing, and the lowercase maintains consistent texture across lines. The design’s flaring at stroke ends is noticeable without becoming decorative, helping it retain a practical, workhorse character in paragraph settings.
