This serif shows gently tapered, flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that create a smooth, continuous rhythm. Letterforms are upright with moderate proportions and a calm, even color in text, while subtle modulation and rounded joins keep the shapes from feeling rigid. Counters are open and the lowercase reads cleanly, with a traditional two‑storey a and g, a compact, sturdy x-height, and balanced extenders. Capitals feel dignified and steady, with slightly sculpted curves and terminals that widen into understated wedges rather than blunt slabs.
Well suited to book typography, essays, and magazine text where a steady, traditional serif texture is desired. It can also support cultural or heritage-leaning branding, titles, and pull quotes, especially where a refined but approachable voice is important.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a quiet warmth that suggests long-form reading and established editorial conventions. Its flared finishing gives it a slightly human, calligraphic softness, conveying refinement without looking overly ornate or formal.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif proportions with subtly flared endings to add warmth and craft, producing a readable, editorial texture that feels established rather than trendy. It prioritizes a composed reading rhythm and a gentle, sculpted presence for both text and display settings.
In the sample text, spacing and word shapes remain stable across mixed case, and the figures sit comfortably alongside the letters with a traditional, print-friendly demeanor. The tapered terminals are consistent across rounds and diagonals, helping maintain a cohesive texture at larger and smaller sizes.
