This serif shows subtly flared stroke endings and wedge-like terminals that broaden as they meet the baseline and cap line, giving stems a gently sculpted, calligraphic feel. Serifs are bracketed rather than abrupt, with a controlled, moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes that stays consistent across the alphabet. Proportions read balanced and traditional: capitals are sturdy with open counters, while the lowercase has a measured x-height, clear apertures, and a two-storey “g” alongside a compact, upright “a.” Figures appear lining and evenly weighted, with rounded forms kept taut and verticals staying crisp for strong text color.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a stable, traditional serif voice is desired. The sturdy capitals and tapered details also work well for headlines, institutional branding, programs, and formal materials such as certificates or invitations.
Overall tone is classical and editorial, projecting credibility and a slightly ceremonial formality. The flared endings add a hint of humanist warmth, keeping it from feeling purely mechanical while still reading as serious and composed.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif proportions with subtle flared finishing, aiming for a trustworthy text face that gains character through tapered terminals and a softly calligraphic construction.
The rhythm in text is steady and well-paced, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (for example, round letters versus straight-sided forms) and terminals that help guide the eye along a line. The punctuation and basic symbols shown sit confidently at text sizes, contributing to an organized, print-like texture.
