A serif typeface with bracketed, flared terminals that subtly widen as strokes meet the serif, giving stems a gently sculpted, ink-trap-free feel. Proportions are generously set with open counters and clear internal space, while curves are smooth and round (not overly geometric). Stroke modulation is moderate, with firm verticals and slightly lighter connecting strokes, producing a steady, readable rhythm. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g and a sturdy, compact texture in text, while the capitals have broad, confident forms and well-defined serifs.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, long-form reading, and book typography where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in headlines, deck typography, and brand systems that need a classic, trustworthy tone with a touch of warmth from the flared terminals.
The overall tone is classical and literary, balancing authority with approachability. Its flared serifs add a traditional, slightly humanist warmth that feels editorial rather than ornamental, conveying confidence without stiffness.
The design appears intended to evoke a traditional reading experience while improving presence and clarity through open counters and sculpted, flaring serif transitions. It aims for a balanced, all-purpose serif voice that can move between text and display contexts without becoming overly delicate or overly heavy.
In the sample text, the face maintains a stable color and consistent spacing, with punctuation and numerals that feel aligned to the same sturdy, serifed logic as the letters. The figure shapes read clearly at display sizes, and the letterforms avoid sharp, brittle details, favoring rounded joins and calm, durable silhouettes.
