This typeface is a serif with subtly flared stroke endings and finely bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than blunt. Strokes show a moderate, controlled contrast with smooth transitions into terminals, giving curves and joins a gently calligraphic rhythm. Proportions are compact and tidy, with relatively small counters and a disciplined, vertical stance; rounds like C, O, and e stay taut and evenly tensioned. The lowercase shows traditional construction (two-storey a and g, compact ear and link forms), and the figures are old-style–leaning in feel with curved strokes and varying widths that keep text color lively.
It performs well in editorial contexts such as books, magazines, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desirable. The distinctive flared terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding where a traditional but not overly formal personality is needed.
The overall tone is poised and bookish, with a quiet elegance suited to classical, editorial typography. Its flared endings and restrained contrast add a cultured, slightly historical voice without becoming ornate or theatrical. The result reads as trustworthy and polished, leaning toward traditional sophistication.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a more sculpted, flared-terminal finish that adds character and a crafted feel. It aims for a balanced text color and a dignified tone, while providing enough stylistic nuance to stand out in titles and editorial display.
In the sample text, spacing and rhythm create an even typographic color, while sharp apexes and tapered terminals give a crisp finish at display sizes. Narrower letterforms and compact apertures can make dense settings feel concentrated, favoring careful sizing and leading for extended reading.
