A classic serif with bracketed, subtly flared stroke endings and a crisp, high-contrast structure. The capitals show sturdy verticals with tapered terminals and compact, controlled proportions, while the lowercase mixes rounded bowls with gently narrowing joins for an even, readable rhythm. Serifs are small and neatly shaped rather than blunt, and curves transition cleanly into stems, giving the face a polished, print-oriented texture. Numerals follow the same disciplined pattern, with clear counters and restrained terminals that keep figures steady in running text.
This style suits editorial typography such as book interiors, long-form articles, and magazine text where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works well for brand systems, packaging, and headline/lead settings that benefit from a traditional yet slightly characterful serif presence.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, suggesting editorial authority and measured elegance. Its restrained detailing and familiar serif forms feel literary and dependable, with just enough flare to add warmth and personality without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic serif, emphasizing legibility and a refined page color while using gently flared terminals to distinguish it from more neutral text faces. It balances formality with subtle expressiveness for versatile use across text and display contexts.
In the sample text, spacing and color read evenly, producing a calm paragraph texture. Distinctive flare at stroke ends and the disciplined modulation through curves help maintain clarity at display sizes while still supporting continuous reading.
