This typeface presents an oldstyle serif structure with gently bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into the terminals. Stems are sturdy and calm, with moderate modulation that shows up most clearly in curved letters and the diagonals, giving the forms a slightly calligraphic, tapered feel without becoming delicate. Uppercase proportions are balanced and traditional, while the lowercase shows rounded bowls, open apertures, and a readable, bookish rhythm; the two‑storey “a” and “g” reinforce a text-oriented build. Numerals follow the same steady color and serif treatment, with clear shapes and consistent spacing.
It is well suited to book typography and long-form reading where a traditional serif rhythm and open counters support sustained legibility. The sturdy capitals and sculpted terminals also make it effective for editorial headlines, magazine layouts, and formal branding that needs a classic, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is classical and composed, evoking familiar editorial and literary typography. Its flared terminals add a hint of warmth and craft, softening the authority of the serif structure while keeping the voice formal and dependable.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on an oldstyle serif for comfortable text setting, adding flared, tapered terminals to introduce warmth and a lightly calligraphic character while maintaining a conventional, versatile typographic foundation.
In paragraphs, the face holds an even texture with comfortable counters and a stable baseline presence. The flare at stroke ends gives punctuation and joins a slightly sculpted look, helping headings feel weighty without resorting to sharp, high-contrast drama.
