This typeface presents a traditional serif structure with subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that soften into the stems. Contrast is moderate, with a gently calligraphic modulation and clear thick–thin rhythm that reads well at text sizes. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with crisp apexes on A/V/W and a round, balanced O; the Q features a distinctive, sweeping tail. Lowercase forms keep a compact, readable texture with open counters, a two-storey a, and a single-storey g with a generous bowl; terminals often finish in tapered, slightly splayed ends rather than blunt cuts.
It performs best in long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine layouts, where its moderate contrast and open shapes maintain clarity. It also suits refined branding, cultural institutions, and headline or subhead work where a classic serif voice is desired without heavy ornament.
Overall, the tone is classical and bookish, projecting authority without feeling overly ornate. The flared finishing and calm modulation add a subtle warmth that suits polished, editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, text-forward serif with a traditional feel, using flared endings and measured contrast to add personality while keeping the overall texture even and readable.
The numerals appear lining and fairly even in color, pairing comfortably with the uppercase. Curves and joins are clean and controlled, creating a stable rhythm in paragraph settings while retaining a touch of old-style character in details like the Q and lower-case terminals.
