This serif face features gently flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs that create a calligraphic, slightly tapered stroke flow. Curves are generous and round (notably in C, G, O, and the bowls), while stems stay crisp and clean, yielding a poised, even color in text. Proportions feel classical with moderate ascenders and descenders and a comfortable, readable lowercase; counters are open and the rhythm is steady rather than tightly packed. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and a more text-oriented, bookish texture.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively for cultural or institutional materials, chapter openers, and refined headings when set with generous spacing.
Overall it conveys a quiet, cultivated tone—formal without feeling rigid. The flared endings add a subtle warmth and humanist touch, suggesting print tradition and careful editorial typography rather than overt stylization.
The design appears intended to balance classical serif proportions with subtly flared, calligraphic stroke endings to achieve a traditional but approachable reading experience. It prioritizes steady text rhythm, open counters, and a composed, print-oriented voice.
The uppercase has a dignified presence with controlled width and smooth modulation, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open forms and restrained detailing. The italic is not shown; the displayed style reads as a straightforward roman suitable for continuous reading.
