This typeface shows a serif structure with subtly flared stroke endings and small wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than bracketed. Curves are smooth and generously open, with a restrained contrast and a steady, even rhythm across text. Uppercase forms are clean and traditional, while lowercase shows a two-storey a, a single-storey g with a prominent ear, and a compact, slightly calligraphic feel in joins and terminals. Numerals appear proportional with elegant curves and fine detailing, keeping the same airy color as the letters.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an open, calm texture is desirable. It also performs convincingly for magazine typography, cultural institutions, and tasteful branding, especially when paired with generous leading and moderate tracking for a polished, print-like presence.
The overall tone is literary and composed, suggesting traditional editorial typography with a gentle, human touch. Its flared terminals add a hint of inscriptional dignity without feeling ornate, creating a quietly sophisticated voice suited to refined communication.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with understated flared terminals to create a readable, modern-leaning text face that still feels rooted in tradition. Its character details add warmth and distinction while preserving a disciplined, professional typographic rhythm.
In the text sample, spacing reads balanced and the letterforms maintain clarity at larger sizes, with distinctive shapes (notably g, a, and Q) contributing character without disrupting the line texture. The flaring at terminals is consistent across rounds and verticals, giving the face a cohesive, slightly sculpted finish.
