A refined serif with gently flared terminals and lightly bracketed serifs that broaden from the stems. The stroke modulation is moderate, with crisp hairlines balanced by sturdier verticals, giving the outlines a calligraphic, pen-informed feel without becoming ornate. Proportions are classical and slightly narrow in places, with open bowls and clear apertures that keep the texture even in paragraph settings. Uppercase forms are stately and clean, while the lowercase shows subtle liveliness in the curved joins, the ear and tail details, and the softly tapered finishing strokes; numerals follow the same elegant, slightly calligraphic construction.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desirable. It also works for literary or cultural branding, pull quotes, and titling that benefits from a classical voice with subtle calligraphic nuance.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, projecting tradition and polish rather than display theatrics. Its flared endings and restrained contrast add a quiet elegance that reads as cultured and editorial, with a hint of old-style warmth.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional serif readability with a more expressive, flared-terminal finish, creating a page-friendly text face that still carries a distinctive, crafted personality.
In running text, the rhythm feels smooth and continuous, with terminals that soften the color of the page compared to sharper, more mechanistic serifs. The design’s distinctive character comes through most in curved letters and in the way strokes expand into terminals, which adds gentle emphasis without heavy weight.
