A refined serif with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs that feel drawn rather than purely mechanical. Strokes show moderate contrast, with sturdier verticals and tapered horizontals and diagonals, creating a crisp rhythm without looking brittle. The proportions are on the compact side with relatively tall capitals and a restrained, readable lowercase; curves are smooth and controlled, and terminals often finish with a slight wedge-like taper. Numerals and punctuation match the text color closely, maintaining a consistent, bookish texture in running lines.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a steady, familiar serif texture is desirable. It also works effectively for headlines and pull quotes, where the flared stroke endings and tapered terminals provide character without sacrificing clarity. Appropriate for brand identities and printed materials that aim for a traditional, cultivated voice.
The overall tone is classic and composed, with an understated elegance that suggests traditional publishing and cultural institutions. Its flared details add a hint of calligraphic warmth, keeping it from feeling overly formal while still reading as authoritative and established.
The design appears intended to bridge classic old-style readability with a more sculpted, contemporary crispness through flared endings and moderated contrast. It prioritizes a stable text rhythm while adding enough distinctive terminal shaping to stand out in display and branding contexts.
The italics are not shown; based on the roman alone, the design emphasizes even spacing and calm text color, with distinctive, slightly tapered terminals that become more noticeable at display sizes. The figures appear lining and integrate cleanly with uppercase settings.
