A serif text face with gently flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs that create a subtle calligraphic lift without strong stroke contrast. Curves are generous and round (notably in O/C/G), while straight strokes stay firm and vertical, giving the design a steady rhythm. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with rounded bowls, clear apertures, and a slightly sculpted feel at joins and terminals; the italics are not shown, and all samples appear upright. Numerals are robust and legible with traditional proportions and clean, tapered finishing.
Well suited to editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired—books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts—thanks to its even texture and clear letterforms. The sturdy capitals and tidy numerals also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, institutional branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, cultivated tone.
The overall tone is literary and composed, suggesting printed-page familiarity with a hint of warmth from the flared stroke endings. It reads as confident and established rather than flashy, balancing formality with an approachable, human touch.
Likely designed as a versatile serif that echoes classical print traditions while adding contemporary refinement through flared terminals and controlled shaping. The goal appears to be dependable readability paired with a distinct, gently sculpted character that stands out without becoming ornamental.
Spacing appears even and text-friendly in the sample paragraphs, with consistent color and a stable baseline. The flaring at terminals is restrained—more of a nuanced shaping than a decorative gesture—helping maintain clarity at display sizes while staying comfortable for extended reading.
