This typeface presents a refined serif construction with gently flared stroke endings and wedge-like terminals that soften transitions into the serifs. Letterforms are clean and steady with modest modulation, giving stems a calm, even color while still retaining a subtly calligraphic, humanist influence. Lowercase proportions favor a prominent x-height with compact ascenders and descenders, supporting clarity in continuous text. The set shows traditional serif cues—diagonal stress in rounded forms, crisp joins, and balanced, open counters—while maintaining an overall restrained, contemporary smoothness.
It suits long-form reading such as books and essays, where its open counters and steady rhythm support comfortable text setting. The flared terminals also give enough character for editorial headlines, magazine decks, and brand identities that want a classic, polished serif with a slightly humanist edge.
The overall tone feels literary and composed, evoking bookish authority without appearing overly ornate. Its flared details add a quiet warmth that reads as cultivated and trustworthy, making it feel appropriate for serious, edited content and institutional voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, readable serif for editorial typography while introducing flared terminals to add distinction and warmth. It aims to balance traditional bookish proportions with a clean, contemporary finish for versatile use across text and display sizes.
Capitals are dignified and spacious, with strong verticals and understated finishing strokes that keep headings crisp. Numerals are straightforward and legible, aligning stylistically with the text forms and maintaining the same restrained, flared finishing throughout.
