A readable serif with gently tapered strokes that broaden into subtly flared terminals, giving the outlines a soft, calligraphic lift without looking italic. Serifs are finely bracketed and relatively sharp, while curves stay smooth and controlled, producing a calm, even rhythm across text. Capitals are stately with moderate width and clear differentiation between straight stems and rounded bowls; the lowercase shows open counters and a straightforward, text-oriented construction. Numerals are slender and well-spaced, matching the overall light, airy color on the page.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, where its open forms and measured contrast stay clear. It can also support magazine headlines, captions, and refined brand typography when a classic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, with a refined, editorial presence. Its restrained detailing and crisp terminals suggest tradition and care, leaning more toward literary elegance than display drama.
The design appears intended to blend familiar old-style readability with understated flare at stroke endings, adding personality while keeping a disciplined, text-first structure. It aims for a versatile, cultured serif that holds up in paragraphs and feels polished in display settings.
In the sample text, spacing and proportions create a clean reading texture, and the flared endings add a subtle sparkle at larger sizes. The design feels comfortable in continuous text while still offering enough character for headings and pull quotes.
