A refined serif with gently flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs that feel rooted in broad‑nib calligraphy. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth, tapered joins and rounded curves, producing an even, flowing rhythm in text. Proportions are slightly narrow in the capitals with crisp, wedge-like finishing, while the lowercase maintains a generous x-height and open counters for steady readability. Figures appear lining and integrate cleanly with the surrounding text color.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial, and magazine typography where a stable, traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve branding, packaging, and institutional materials that benefit from a classic, cultivated voice—especially in headings and pull quotes where the flared terminals become more apparent.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a quiet elegance that reads as trustworthy and cultivated rather than flashy. Its flared endings and measured contrast add a subtle warmth, making pages feel composed and editorial.
The design appears intended to balance traditional serif elegance with practical text performance, using flared stroke endings and controlled contrast to create a readable, polished page color. It aims for an editorial, bookish character that remains versatile across display and text settings.
Curves are clean and continuous, with a restrained, traditional modulation that keeps paragraphs cohesive. The uppercase has a dignified presence suited to titling, while the lowercase spacing and consistent stress support longer reading without appearing stiff.
