A flared serif with gently swelling stems and tapered stroke endings that create a soft, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and subtle rather than slabby, with moderate stroke contrast and rounded joins that keep the texture even in continuous text. Proportions feel spacious with open counters, a relatively generous set width, and slightly lively shaping in curves and diagonals; the italic is not shown, but the roman includes distinctive, softly modulated terminals and a noticeably sculpted lowercase (notably in a, g, and y). Numerals follow the same humanist modulation, with smooth curves and understated finishing details.
Well-suited to editorial typography and book interiors where a refined serif texture is needed without harsh contrast. It can also support sophisticated branding, packaging, and cultural/arts materials that benefit from a classical voice with slightly contemporary warmth.
The tone is bookish and cultured, balancing tradition with a warmer, more human hand than a strictly transitional text face. Its flared strokes and softened terminals add a quiet elegance that reads as confident and composed rather than formal or severe.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with flared, calligraphy-informed modulation to achieve readability and an elegant, human tone. The goal seems to be a versatile roman that carries authority for text while still offering distinctive character in display sizes.
In the sample text, the face maintains a steady paragraph color with clear letter separation and generous internal space, suggesting comfort in longer reading settings. The character shapes lean toward humanist construction, giving the alphabet a subtly organic movement, especially in rounded forms and the two-storey g.
