A flared serif with a calm, even color and gently modulated strokes that stay largely consistent across the alphabet. Stems broaden into subtle, wedge-like terminals, and the serifs read as lightly bracketed with a slightly sheared, calligraphic finish rather than hard slabs. Uppercase forms are stately and open, with generous counters (notably in C, G, O, Q) and a controlled, bookish rhythm. The lowercase shows a humanist structure with a single-storey g and soft, rounded joins; ascenders are clear and the overall texture remains smooth in paragraph settings. Numerals are lining and steady, matching the letterforms with similarly flared endings and unobtrusive detailing.
Well suited to book typography and editorial layouts where an even, readable texture is needed over paragraphs. The distinctive flared terminals also make it effective for section heads, pull quotes, and refined branding that wants a traditional voice. It should perform especially well in print-oriented contexts and calm, information-forward designs.
The tone is classical and literary, suggesting editorial seriousness without feeling brittle or overly ornate. Its flared endings add warmth and a slightly historical, book-type feel, while the low drama in contrast keeps it composed and dependable. Overall it conveys refinement, tradition, and a quiet authority suitable for long-form reading.
Likely designed to bridge classical book serif conventions with a more contemporary smoothness, using flared terminals and modest contrast to add personality while preserving readability. The aim appears to be a versatile text face with enough distinctive detailing to carry into display settings.
The design maintains legibility through open apertures and clean interior shapes, while the flared terminals provide character at display sizes. Italic is not shown, but the roman has enough calligraphic influence in the serif treatment to feel lively without becoming decorative. Spacing appears balanced in the sample text, producing an even typographic color across lines.
