A serif typeface with subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that give the outlines a gently calligraphic, tapered feel. Curves are smooth and generous, with relatively open counters and moderate stroke modulation that stays consistent across the alphabet. Uppercase forms feel stately and steady, with crisp terminals and a slightly widened stance in round letters, while lowercase shows traditional proportions with clear differentiation between straight stems and rounded joins. Numerals appear lining and text-like, matching the rhythm and contrast of the letters for cohesive setting in mixed copy.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, essays, and long-form reading where a refined serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for branding, invitations, and headline systems that need a classic, authoritative presence with a touch of warmth.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting tradition and credibility without feeling overly ornate. Its restrained modulation and softened flares add warmth and a faintly handwritten heritage, supporting an elegant, cultivated voice.
Likely drawn to provide a contemporary take on a traditional serif: readable and balanced for continuous text, yet distinctive through its flared terminals and gently calligraphic modulation. The intent seems to be versatility across text and display while maintaining an established, literary character.
The design reads cleanly at text sizes in the sample, with comfortable spacing and a calm horizontal flow. Diagonal letters and curved joins maintain a controlled, polished rhythm, helping paragraphs feel orderly while still retaining character in display use.
