This typeface is a serif with crisp wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings, giving stems a gently tapered, calligraphic finish rather than blunt terminals. Contrast is moderate to high, with noticeably heavier verticals and finer horizontals, especially visible in E, F, T, and the numerals. The lowercase shows a compact, readable structure with a two-storey a, open apertures, and pronounced ascenders/descenders; the overall texture is even but lively due to the stroke modulation. Caps are stately and slightly narrow in feel, with clean curves and tidy joins, while the figures are lining and fairly upright with traditional proportions.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and clear word shapes are desired. It also works well for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and brand typography that needs a refined, established tone without resorting to ornate detailing.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, with a composed, authoritative presence that reads as editorial and established. The flared terminals and sharp serifs add a hint of traditional craft, keeping the voice refined rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text serif with a contemporary crispness, using flared endings and pointed serifs to add character while preserving disciplined proportions for consistent paragraph color.
Round letters (C, G, O, Q) maintain a controlled, slightly squared ovality, helping the font feel disciplined in setting. Spacing in the sample appears balanced for text, producing a steady rhythm without looking overly dense.
