A serif design with gently flared stems and bracketed serifs that broaden into the terminals, giving strokes a subtle swelling rather than sharp, hairline finishes. Capitals are sturdy and slightly wide with smooth, rounded bowls (C, G, O, Q) and confident verticals, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions with a two-storey a and g, a compact t, and clear, open apertures. Curves are clean and continuous, joins are softly modeled, and the numerals follow the same flared, bookish construction with rounded forms and steady rhythm.
It is well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a classic serif texture is desired. The confident capitals and clear lowercase also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a refined, literary voice.
The overall tone feels classic and cultivated, with a quiet authority suited to serious, text-forward communication. Its flared endings add warmth and a hint of inscriptional character, keeping it approachable while remaining decidedly formal and traditional.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a gently flared, inscription-inspired finish that adds character without becoming decorative. It aims for a composed page color and dependable legibility while projecting an established, authoritative presence.
The typeface maintains consistent modulation across rounds and straights, and the spacing reads even in the sample text, producing a calm texture. Details like the Q tail and the curved lowercases lean toward an old-style sensibility while staying clean and contemporary in finish.
