This serif typeface shows flared, wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed serifs that give strokes a subtly calligraphic finish. The proportions are generously set with open counters and a steady rhythm, while curves are smooth and slightly tapered at joins. Capitals feel sturdy and traditional with controlled modulation, and the lowercase presents round, readable forms with modest ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same serifed, gently tapered logic, keeping an even color in running text.
It is well suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and comfortable texture are desired. The strong capitals and shaped terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic, literary character.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority without feeling harsh. Its flared endings and moderate modulation add a human, bookish warmth that reads as established and trustworthy rather than purely neutral.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional text serif by combining familiar proportions with expressive flared terminals, aiming for a warm, print-oriented texture that remains clear and composed across sizes.
Details like the wedge terminals on characters such as C, S, and a, along with the pronounced, sculpted joins in letters like n, m, and h, create a distinctive engraved or print-like presence. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates a strong, consistent roman suitable for continuous reading.
