A serif typeface with sculpted, slightly flared stroke endings and smoothly bracketed serifs that create a gentle, calligraphic modulation without sharp contrast. The capitals are broad and steady, with rounded bowls (C, G, O) and clear, traditional proportions, while the lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms and a calm rhythm in text. Curves feel generously drawn and terminals are softened rather than abrupt, giving counters a stable, open feel. Numerals are lining and integrate cleanly with the letterforms, maintaining the same crisp, serifed finish.
It suits long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine features, where a steady serif texture and comfortable rhythm are important. The strong capitals and sculpted details also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that need a classic, premium voice.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, balancing authority with warmth. Its flared shaping and softened terminals add a humanist, bookish character that feels established and trustworthy rather than clinical.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with a more sculptural, flared finish, adding warmth and personality while keeping an even, controlled text color. It aims for versatility across text and display sizes without sacrificing a refined, literary feel.
In the text sample, the face maintains an even color and consistent spacing, producing a smooth paragraph texture. The flared endings add subtle emphasis at joins and terminals, helping strokes feel anchored and slightly engraved in appearance.
