A serif text face with gently flared stems and bracketed serifs that broaden into tapered, chiseled endings. Stroke contrast is moderate and steady, with smooth transitions through curves and joins, giving letters a calm, even color in text. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are stately with wide bowls and clear internal space, while lowercase forms are compact and readable with open counters and round, slightly calligraphic curves. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and prominent extenders, matching the rhythm of the lowercase.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other longform reading where a steady rhythm and moderate contrast aid comfort. It also works effectively for refined headings, pull quotes, and formal print materials where a traditional, cultivated serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classical and literary, projecting refinement without feeling fragile. Its flared endings and subtle calligraphic modulation add a hint of humanist warmth, making it feel cultured, traditional, and suitable for serious reading contexts.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, classical serif for continuous text while adding distinctive character through flared stroke endings and gentle calligraphic shaping. It aims to balance tradition and warmth, offering a familiar bookish structure with a slightly more sculpted, expressive terminal treatment.
In the text sample, spacing and sidebearings read balanced, producing an even, page-like texture. The design shows a consistent serif/terminal logic across rounds and diagonals, and the figures harmonize well with letters rather than standing apart as purely lining display numerals.
