A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and gently flaring, bracketed terminals that give stems a subtly sculpted finish. Capitals are proportioned with a traditional, inscriptional feel—wide bowls, clean joins, and sharp apexes—while the lowercase keeps a steady rhythm with open counters and tidy, slightly tapered serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, and straight strokes remain crisp, producing a polished texture in paragraphs. Numerals share the same high-contrast, classical construction and sit comfortably alongside the text forms.
Well-suited to editorial and book typography where a traditional serif voice and clear paragraph rhythm are desirable. It also works effectively for museum-style titling, formal stationery, and brand systems that need a dignified, established tone.
The overall tone is classic and composed, with an editorial seriousness that reads as cultured and trustworthy. Its flared endings add a hint of warmth and craft, keeping the mood refined rather than rigid.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with added sophistication from flared, bracketed terminals—balancing heritage proportions with a slightly calligraphic finish for polished, authoritative typography.
In continuous text the face maintains an even color despite the contrast, aided by generous internal spaces and clear letter shaping. The design leans toward formal print conventions, with a restrained, timeless character rather than overtly stylized eccentricities.
