A serif text face with gently flared stems and wedge-like, softly bracketed terminals that create a subtle calligraphic sweep. Stroke contrast is moderate, with smooth transitions from thick to thin and rounded joins that keep forms calm rather than sharp. Proportions feel balanced and readable: capitals are stately without being condensed, while the lowercase shows open counters and a steady rhythm across words. Numerals are lining and evenly weighted, matching the text color without calling attention to themselves.
Well-suited to body copy in books and editorial layouts where a steady, comfortable rhythm is needed. It also works effectively for headlines and brand applications that want a classic, cultivated serif voice without heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a quiet elegance that reads as established and trustworthy. The flared endings add a hint of humanist warmth, keeping the voice refined but not cold.
Likely designed to deliver a dependable, traditional reading experience with a modernized smoothness, using subtle flaring and moderated contrast to add character while preserving clarity at text sizes.
In text, the face maintains an even color and consistent spacing, producing a smooth line flow suited to longer reading. The serifs and terminals stay restrained, so the design feels versatile rather than ornamental.
