This typeface is a flared serif with gently tapered stems that broaden into subtle, bracket-like terminals. Strokes are smooth and fairly even in weight, with soft transitions and rounded joins that give the outlines a calm, well-finished feel. Uppercase forms are spacious and steady, with broad proportions and clean, open counters (notably in C, G, O, and Q). The lowercase shows traditional, readable construction with a two-storey a and g, a sturdy, bracketed n/m rhythm, and a slightly expressive ear and terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming decorative. Numerals are clear and stable, with rounded bowls and understated finishing on endpoints.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif presence is desired without heavy contrast. The wide, open forms also make it effective for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and brand typography that aims for tradition and credibility with a subtle contemporary softness.
Overall, the font conveys a composed, traditional tone—authoritative but approachable. The flared endings add a quiet warmth and a faint calligraphic echo, lending a literary, editorial character rather than a stark, technical one.
The design appears intended to bridge classic serif typography with a slightly calligraphic, flared finishing, creating a readable, dependable voice that still feels crafted. It prioritizes an even text color, open counters, and restrained detailing for versatile use across display and text settings.
In text, the letterspacing and open internal shapes help maintain clarity, while the flared terminals create a gentle horizontal flow across words. The design avoids sharp, spiky details; instead, it emphasizes smooth curves and softened corners for a more humane reading texture.
