A sculpted serif with subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than sharply attached. Strokes show clear, moderate contrast with smooth transitions, and the curves are generous—especially in rounded letters like C, O, and Q—giving the face an open, spacious rhythm. Uppercase forms are stately and stable with crisp terminals, while the lowercase is readable and even, with a two-storey a, compact bowls, and restrained apertures. Numerals are sturdy and traditional in texture, matching the letterforms’ measured contrast and refined finishing.
This face suits book typography, long-form editorial, and magazine layouts where a calm, traditional texture is desirable. It also performs well in headlines, institutional communications, and branding that benefits from a refined, classic serif voice.
The overall tone is classical and literary, projecting authority without becoming overly ornate. Its flared detailing adds a quiet warmth and a slightly editorial sophistication, making the text feel established, trustworthy, and composed.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif proportions with subtly flared, calligraphic finishing to create a dignified text face that remains lively at display sizes. Its consistent rhythm and moderate contrast point to comfortable reading, while the sculpted terminals provide distinct identity.
The italics are not shown; the sample suggests a font optimized for continuous reading with clean spacing and consistent color across lines. The Q has a distinctive, sweeping tail, and several capitals (notably W and Y) carry a slightly calligraphic taper that reinforces the flared character.
