This serif features tapered, flared stroke endings that broaden gently into bracketed terminals, giving the outlines a subtly sculpted feel. Strokes show clear modulation with crisp joins and a steady vertical stress, producing a calm, even texture in text. Proportions are on the condensed side with tall capitals and compact lowercase forms; counters are moderately open, and curves are smooth and controlled. The numerals and punctuation match the letterforms with the same tapered finishing and restrained detailing, keeping the overall rhythm consistent.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif color is desired, as well as magazine headlines and subheads that benefit from a narrower footprint. It can also support refined branding and packaging where a traditional, literate tone and crisp serif detailing are important.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a composed, literary voice. Its restrained contrast and sharpened finishing convey seriousness and polish without becoming ornate, lending a quietly authoritative presence.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif readability with a subtly contemporary edge created by flared, tapered endings and compact proportions. It aims for a dependable text texture while offering enough character for prominent titling.
Capitals read statuesque and decisive, while the lowercase maintains a tidy, disciplined cadence suited to longer passages. The combination of narrow set and flared terminals creates a distinctive silhouette at display sizes while remaining orderly in paragraph settings.
