A serif text face with lightly calligraphic construction and subtly flared stroke endings. The letterforms show moderate stroke modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that give stems a gentle widening as they meet the baseline and cap line. Proportions are balanced and readable, with open counters, clean joins, and a steady rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. The capitals are stately and well-spaced, while the lowercase maintains a practical, even color suitable for continuous reading.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and other longform reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve for refined headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural materials that benefit from a traditional, literary tone.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a quietly elegant presence. Its flared details add a touch of warmth and craft without becoming decorative, lending the font a composed, authoritative voice.
Likely designed as a readable, general-purpose serif with a subtle flared character to add distinction and warmth. The intention appears to balance classic proportions and editorial practicality with understated calligraphic nuance.
Round forms (such as C, O, and Q) keep a controlled, slightly classical feel, and the numerals match the text tone with clear shapes and restrained contrast. The sample text shows good paragraph texture, with punctuation and spacing that support a straightforward editorial setting.
