This typeface is a flared serif with softly expanding stroke endings and gently bracketed terminals that give the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. Strokes are low-contrast with steady, confident curves and open apertures, producing clear interior space in letters like C, S, and e. Proportions lean slightly broad with generous sidebearings, while round forms (O, Q, o) read full and stable. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a two-storey a, a compact shoulder on r, and a slightly angled, lively italic-like energy in diagonals and arms without actually slanting.
It fits well for book interiors, longform editorial, and magazine typography where a traditional serif texture is desired with a slightly contemporary softness. It also works for institutional or heritage-leaning branding, packaging copy, and display headlines that benefit from a refined, humanist serif character.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting a traditional print voice with a touch of warmth rather than strict austerity. The flared endings and soft transitions add an organic, human presence that feels editorial and refined, suitable for text that aims to sound established and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to balance classic readability with expressive, flared terminals that add personality without sacrificing clarity. Its wide, open forms and low-contrast construction suggest an emphasis on comfortable reading and consistent page color across paragraphs.
The capitals have a dignified presence with clear differentiation between similarly shaped letters, and the Q’s tail is pronounced and decorative without becoming distracting. Numerals appear sturdy and readable, matching the serifed, slightly calligraphic rhythm of the alphabet. The sample text shows even texture and a comfortable reading color at larger paragraph sizes.
