This serif typeface features flared, bracketed terminals that broaden subtly at stroke endings, giving stems a sculpted, gently tapered feel rather than blunt serifs. Curves are smooth and rounded, with moderate stroke modulation and a steady, traditional rhythm across uppercase and lowercase. Proportions lean classical: wide, open capitals, sturdy lowercase with clear counters, and a clean, authoritative figure set. Overall spacing reads balanced and readable, supporting continuous text while retaining a refined, slightly engraved presence in larger sizes.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine text where a traditional serif voice and strong readability are needed. It also performs well for headings, cultural branding, and institutional materials that benefit from a classic, authoritative tone.
The tone is classical and cultivated, with an editorial seriousness that feels at home in literary and institutional contexts. The flared endings add a quiet touch of warmth and craft, keeping the voice traditional without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with subtly flared, crafted terminals to add character and presence. It aims for a dependable, text-forward palette that can scale from continuous reading to dignified display settings without losing its composed, classic identity.
Uppercase forms show confident, symmetrical construction with restrained detailing, while the lowercase maintains a stable baseline and clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals appear robust and legible, matching the serif vocabulary and maintaining an even color in text.
