A compact serif with subtly flared, bracketed stroke endings and a moderately modulated stroke weight. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic stress with crisp, tapered terminals and smoothly curved joins, giving counters a clean, open feel without becoming wide. Proportions are generally narrow with tall capitals and a steady baseline rhythm; round forms stay controlled and verticals dominate, while diagonals and curves introduce gentle liveliness. Numerals align with the same restrained contrast and tapered finishing, reading clearly at text sizes.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. Its compact proportions make it useful for information-dense settings, while the flared detailing also lends itself to tasteful headlines, institutional materials, and brand identities that need a traditional, confident voice.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with an editorial seriousness tempered by graceful, humanist touches. It feels authoritative and bookish rather than ornamental, projecting a composed, quietly upscale voice.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif model by combining compact proportions with controlled contrast and flared, bracketed finishing. The goal seems to be a readable text face that still carries enough distinctive shaping for strong editorial typography and refined display use.
In the text sample the spacing appears even and disciplined, supporting continuous reading while retaining distinct, characterful shapes in letters like Q, R, g, and y. The flared endings add presence in headlines without looking heavy or blunt.
