A serif text face with gently flared stems and tapered stroke endings, giving many terminals a subtly calligraphic feel. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, with crisp triangular and wedge-like forms on capitals and a more flowing, bookish construction in the lowercase. Contrast is noticeable but not extreme, with smooth transitions into curves and a steady, readable rhythm in paragraph settings. Proportions lean traditional: rounded letters are generous and open, ascenders are prominent, and the lowercase shows a comfortable, familiar texture rather than a rigidly geometric structure.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a refined, classical tone.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting tradition and careful typesetting. Its flared strokes add a faintly hand-influenced elegance, creating a refined, slightly dramatic voice without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional serif readability with flared, calligraphic nuances that add distinction in both text and display sizes. It aims for an elegant page color and a timeless, print-oriented presence.
Capitals present a dignified, inscriptional feel, while the lowercase keeps a pragmatic text sensibility with clear apertures and balanced spacing. Numerals follow the same serifed, tapered logic, reading as suited to running text rather than purely tabular display.
