A refined serif with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than sharply cut. The stroke contrast is moderate, with smooth transitions into hairlines and slightly swelling verticals that give the letterforms a subtle, calligraphic warmth. Proportions are classical and balanced: capitals are spacious and steady, while lowercase forms show open apertures and clear internal counters for comfortable word shapes. Curves are round and controlled, with a softly tapered treatment in letters like C, G, S, and the figures, creating an even rhythm across text.
This face suits extended reading in books and long-form editorial layouts, where its open counters and measured contrast support clarity. It also performs well in pull quotes, chapter titles, and formal collateral such as programs or invitations that benefit from a classic, cultivated voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, leaning toward bookish elegance rather than overt display. Its flared detailing adds a quiet sophistication that reads as heritage-minded, editorial, and composed.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif proportions with a subtle flared, calligraphic finish, providing a dignified text voice with a slightly crafted, humanistic edge.
Numerals appear oldstyle-like in spirit with varied widths and a graceful, slightly organic flow that matches the serif shaping. Punctuation and curves maintain consistent flare behavior, helping large text feel polished without looking rigid.
