A high-contrast serif with tapered, subtly flared terminals and bracketed serif transitions that give stems a gently sculpted feel rather than a blunt finish. Curves are broad and smooth with crisp joins, and the overall rhythm is calm and evenly paced. Uppercase forms are stately with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with teardrop-like terminals and a two-storey a. Numerals appear oldstyle, with noticeable ascenders/descenders and a lively, text-oriented color.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as magazine layouts and editorial headlines where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also work for cultured branding, programs, and invitations where a classic serif voice with a bit of flair is appropriate.
The tone is polished and literary, balancing classical formality with a soft, humanist warmth. Its sharp contrast and flared endings create a refined, slightly dramatic voice suited to cultured, editorial settings rather than utilitarian UI typography.
The design appears aimed at delivering a traditional serif reading experience with added sophistication through high contrast and flared, calligraphy-informed terminals. The inclusion of oldstyle numerals reinforces an intent toward text typography and literary or editorial use.
The italic influence is suggested in the angled entry/exit strokes and tapered terminals even in the upright, lending a calligraphic undercurrent. Stroke modulation is consistent across rounds and diagonals, and the spacing reads open enough for comfortable continuous text while remaining crisp in display sizes.
