This serif typeface shows an oldstyle, calligraphic structure with gently modulated strokes and clearly flared, bracketed terminals. Capitals are tall and relatively narrow, with crisp wedge-like serifs and smooth joins that keep counters open. Lowercase forms are compact and steady, with a traditional two-storey “a,” a rounded “g,” and softly tapered ends that create a refined, continuous rhythm. Numerals follow the same logic, pairing sturdy vertical stress with subtle stroke swelling and clean, readable shapes.
It is well suited to book interiors, magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts, and other reading-focused settings where a classic serif texture is desired. The narrow, upright capitals also make it effective for headings, titling, and refined brand applications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, suggesting bookish authority rather than display theatrics. Its flared endings and restrained contrast add a quiet elegance that feels editorial and established, suitable for serious, polished typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic reading experience with a slightly sculpted, flared-serif character—bridging traditional oldstyle warmth and clean editorial discipline. It prioritizes consistent rhythm, legibility, and a restrained elegance that scales from text to display sizes.
In text, the face maintains an even gray value with noticeable but not sharp stroke modulation, helping long lines feel calm and organized. The serif treatment is consistent across cases, and the shapes favor clarity over ornament, producing a dependable, classic texture.
