A serif text face with gently tapered strokes that broaden into subtly flared terminals, giving stems a soft, sculpted finish rather than hard slab endings. Serifs are small and bracketed, and curves are smooth with open counters and moderate apertures for clarity. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are well-balanced and slightly narrow, while lowercase forms show a compact, readable rhythm with tidy ascenders/descenders and restrained, rounded joins. Numerals and punctuation match the same understated, tapered construction, producing an even, composed color in paragraphs.
Works well for book typography, long-form editorial, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support literary or academic titling and institutional communications, especially where a refined, conventional tone is important.
The overall tone is classic and cultured, with a quiet elegance suited to traditional publishing. Its flared endings add a faint calligraphic warmth, keeping it from feeling mechanical while still reading as formal and composed.
The design appears intended to deliver comfortable, classic readability while introducing a subtle flared-stroke personality for warmth and distinction. It aims for a conservative, dependable text texture with just enough crafted detail to elevate headings and pull quotes.
Letterforms show consistent terminal treatment across straight and curved strokes, creating a cohesive texture from display sizes down into continuous text. The sample text suggests stable spacing and a steady line rhythm, with enough openness in the bowls to remain clear without looking overly modern.
