This typeface is a serif with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs that give strokes a tapered, calligraphic finish rather than blunt terminals. Proportions are balanced and traditional, with moderate stroke modulation and a steady vertical rhythm that reads cleanly in continuous text. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly narrow in their internal spacing, while the lowercase maintains open counters and clear apertures; the single-storey g and the compact, upright figures reinforce a bookish, text-forward construction. Overall spacing appears even and controlled, supporting a smooth line texture without looking mechanical.
It suits long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine typography, where the steady rhythm and open lowercase help maintain comfort. The refined serif details also work well for institutional or cultural branding, headings paired with a simpler companion, and formal printed materials where a traditional voice is desired.
The tone is classic and literary, evoking printed editorial work and traditional publishing. The flared endings add a quiet, crafted warmth, while the restrained contrast keeps the voice composed and professional. It communicates refinement and authority without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to bridge classical serif readability with a slightly crafted finish, using flared terminals to add personality while keeping the overall structure conservative and text-friendly. It prioritizes consistent texture and dignified proportions that hold up in paragraphs and multi-line settings.
Several glyphs show small, distinctive flares at terminals (notably in E, F, T, and the diagonals of V/W/Y), which adds a subtle engraved or pen-finished character. The numerals are straightforward and legible, with familiar forms that sit comfortably alongside the text style rather than calling attention to themselves.
