A serif typeface with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that create a soft, sculpted finish rather than hard terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions and a slightly calligraphic rhythm, giving curves an organic, drawn quality. Proportions are balanced and readable, with rounded bowls, clear apertures, and numerals that sit comfortably alongside the text. The overall texture in paragraph setting is even, with a calm vertical cadence and restrained detailing.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even texture and familiar serif structure support comfortable legibility. It can also serve in formal branding, institutional materials, and headings that benefit from a traditional, crafted serif voice.
The tone is classic and bookish, projecting refinement and quiet authority. Its flared serifs and moderate contrast add a subtle elegance that feels traditional without becoming ornate or fussy.
The design appears intended to deliver dependable text performance with a more handcrafted finish than a purely transitional serif, using flared endings and moderate contrast to add warmth and distinction while keeping the overall tone conservative and readable.
In the grid, capitals appear sturdy and formal, while the lowercase maintains a steady, text-oriented rhythm; together they produce a composed page color in the sample paragraphs. The design’s terminal flares give strokes a slightly tapered, chiseled impression that helps punctuation and diagonals feel crisp without looking sharp-edged.
