This serif face combines sturdy, slightly tapered stems with subtly flared terminals that create a gentle, calligraphic swell at stroke endings. Serifs are bracketed and smoothly integrated, with moderate stroke modulation that stays even and readable across sizes. Uppercase forms feel classical and balanced, with generous interior space and round letters (O, Q) that read clean and calm; the Q features a crisp, understated tail. Lowercase maintains open counters and clear apertures, with a two-storey a and g and a compact, efficient rhythm suited to continuous text. Numerals appear lining and proportioned to sit comfortably alongside capitals, with traditional shapes and controlled curves.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts where a stable serif texture and comfortable readability are needed. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a classic, trustworthy voice.
The overall tone is bookish and established, with a quiet elegance rather than sharp drama. The flared endings add warmth and a slightly human, editorial feel, lending the font a sense of credibility and tradition without looking overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with added warmth from flared terminals, bridging conventional book type proportions with a subtly calligraphic finish. It aims for versatility across text and display by keeping contrast moderate and forms open and disciplined.
In text, the face shows a steady baseline and consistent color, with enough modulation to keep lines lively while preserving clarity. The design’s flaring is most noticeable on verticals and at stroke terminals, giving headings a dignified presence and body text a soft, readable texture.
