This typeface is a flared serif with gently modulated, low-contrast strokes and soft, bracketed terminals that broaden into wedge-like serifs. The overall drawing feels slightly calligraphic, with a subtle forward slant and lively joins that keep shapes from feeling rigid. Proportions are on the wider side, with open counters and steady spacing that supports clear word shapes. Curves are smooth and generous (notably in C, O, and G), while diagonal letters like V, W, and X carry firm, tapered ends that preserve crispness without sharp, high-contrast hairlines.
It is well suited to editorial typography—books, long-form articles, and magazine features—where a warm serif texture and clear counters aid reading. The wider set and flared details also make it effective for tasteful branding, packaging, and display lines that need refinement without looking overly delicate.
The tone reads literary and cultivated—traditional enough for classical contexts, but softened by the flared endings and gentle slant into something more personable. It suggests bookish authority with a warm, human rhythm rather than a cold, formal temperament.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif conventions with a more contemporary softness: low contrast for durability, flared terminals for character, and slightly calligraphic shaping for a natural, readable flow in both headlines and text.
The figures appear lining with straightforward, readable forms and consistent stroke weight; the ‘0’ is a plain oval without a visible slash. Lowercase forms are sturdy and open, with a single-storey ‘g’ and compact, readable ‘a’, contributing to a friendly text color in paragraphs.
