A delicate serif with gently flared stroke endings and soft, bracketed serifs that keep the forms smooth rather than sharp. Curves are round and open, with generous counters in letters like C, O, and e, and a steady, bookish rhythm across mixed case. The capitals feel slightly calligraphic in construction—noticeable in A, V, W, and Y—while the lowercase stays compact and legible, with a two-storey a and g and a narrow, lightly tapered f. Numerals are elegant and proportional, with clear, classical shapes and consistent spacing suited to continuous reading.
Best suited to long-form text such as books, essays, and magazine articles where a refined serif texture is desirable. It can also serve well in branding or packaging that aims for a classic, premium voice, particularly when set at comfortable reading sizes.
The overall tone is cultivated and understated, leaning toward literary and institutional rather than expressive or playful. Its soft flaring and restrained contrast suggest a quiet formality that reads as traditional, trustworthy, and editorial.
Likely intended as a versatile reading serif that blends classical proportions with subtly flared details to add warmth and distinction without sacrificing clarity. The consistent mixed-case rhythm suggests an emphasis on text performance and editorial polish.
The design balances crisp verticals with rounded joins, creating a smooth texture in paragraphs. Extenders (b, d, f, h, k, l and g, p, q, y) are relatively long, giving lines a slightly airy, traditional page color, and the punctuation in the sample text sits cleanly without calling attention to itself.
