A sturdy serif with gently flared, bracketed endings that broaden at the terminals rather than forming blunt slabs. Strokes are largely even, with subtle modulation and crisp, clean joins that keep the texture calm and consistent in text. The proportions feel generous and open, with rounded bowls (notably in C/O) and clear, uncompressed counters; the capitals read broad and steady, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, workmanlike rhythm. Numerals are robust and legible, with classic forms and confident horizontals that sit firmly on the baseline.
It performs well for continuous reading in books and long-form editorial layouts, where its open counters and steady stroke weight support clarity. It also suits magazine typography, institutional communications, and branding systems that want a classic serif voice with a subtly crafted edge.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority without feeling ornate. Its flared finish adds a touch of warmth and craft, giving the face a bookish, institutional character suited to serious content.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose serif that bridges classical readability with flared terminal character. It prioritizes a stable text rhythm and clear letterforms, adding distinction through tapered, widening endings rather than overt contrast or ornament.
Serif shapes are more tapered and splayed than sharp or hairline, lending stability at smaller sizes while preserving a slightly calligraphic aftertaste. The text sample shows an even color and dependable spacing, with punctuation and caps providing clear structure in paragraph settings.
