A clean, upright serif with subtly flared stroke endings that widen gently as they meet terminals, giving the letterforms a sculpted, engraved-like finish without heavy contrast. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, with open counters in letters like O, e, and a, and a steady, readable rhythm across words. Serifs feel integrated rather than bracketed or slabby, and overall proportions stay balanced with straightforward, unforced geometry that holds up well from display sizes down into text.
Well suited for editorial typography—magazines, long-form articles, and book interiors—where a refined serif texture and strong readability are needed. It also fits branding and packaging that benefit from understated sophistication, and works effectively for headlines and subheads where the flared endings can add subtle character without becoming decorative.
The tone reads contemporary and composed, with a quiet formality that suggests care and precision rather than ornament. The slight flare adds a tasteful classic touch, lending an editorial, institutional confidence while remaining approachable and clear.
Likely designed to combine contemporary clarity with a restrained, classic serif flavor, using flared terminals to introduce warmth and finish while keeping the overall construction straightforward and highly readable.
The alphabet shows consistent terminal behavior across straight and curved strokes, creating a cohesive texture in running text. Numerals are simple and legible with familiar shapes, supporting a utilitarian, content-forward feel.
