A crisp serif with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that soften transitions without losing sharpness. The letterforms show moderate contrast and a steady, readable rhythm, with open counters and clear joins. Capitals feel stately and proportional, while the lowercase maintains a compact, even texture; details like the two-storey “g” and single-storey “a” contribute a traditional, text-forward voice. Numerals and punctuation match the same tapered, slightly calligraphic finishing, keeping the overall color consistent in paragraphs.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where sustained reading comfort matters, including magazines, essays, and reports. The capitals also hold up for refined headlines, pull quotes, and section openers where a traditional serif presence is desired.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting printed-page authority rather than overt modernism. Its restrained flare and controlled contrast give it a refined, editorial feel—serious and dependable, with a subtle warmth in the stroke endings.
This design appears intended to deliver a familiar, print-oriented serif voice with a touch of flared finishing—balancing classic proportions and readability with subtle, calligraphic shaping at terminals to keep the texture lively and composed.
Diagonal and curved strokes finish with small wedges that create a faintly inscribed quality, especially noticeable in forms like V, W, Y, and the curved terminals of C, G, and S. The spacing in the sample text reads comfortably, supporting long-form readability without looking overly mechanical.
