A crisp serif with subtly flared stroke endings and wedge-like terminals that give stems a gently sculpted, calligraphic feel. Letterforms show moderate modulation without strong contrast, with sharp entry/exit cuts and compact, well-defined serifs rather than heavy bracketed ones. Proportions are balanced and readable, with open counters, steady spacing, and a slightly narrowed rhythm in capitals; the lowercase keeps a straightforward structure with clean ascenders/descenders and a single-storey g.
Well-suited to editorial layouts and book typography where a steady, readable texture is needed, especially in paragraphs and longer passages. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and packaging or identity systems that benefit from a traditional serif voice without heavy contrast.
The overall tone is classical and composed, evoking book typography and traditional print with a measured, refined presence. The flaring at terminals adds a quiet elegance and a hint of hand-drawn warmth while remaining disciplined and formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a versatile reading face with a traditional serif foundation, differentiated by flared terminals that add character and a lightly calligraphic finish. It aims for clarity and consistent texture while offering a distinctive, gently sculpted silhouette.
Capitals feel slightly monumental due to their vertical emphasis and pointed terminals, while numerals match the text color cleanly and stay unobtrusive. The design maintains consistent stroke behavior across curves and diagonals, keeping long-text texture even and calm.
