A serif text face with gently flared, bracketed serifs and subtly calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with soft transitions into wedge-like terminals, giving stems a slightly swelling presence at ends rather than abrupt cuts. Proportions are balanced and traditional, with rounded bowls, clear apertures, and an even rhythm across words in paragraph settings. The italics are not shown; the sample emphasizes steady upright forms and consistent spacing suitable for continuous reading.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine articles where a comfortable, traditional rhythm is important. It also works for headlines, pull quotes, and cultured branding applications that benefit from a classic serif voice without extreme contrast.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, with a refined, slightly old-style warmth. Its flared endings and moderated contrast lend a cultured, editorial feel that reads as trustworthy and established rather than trendy or mechanical.
The design appears intended to blend familiar serif readability with a distinctive flared-terminal signature. By keeping contrast moderate and forms open, it aims for dependable text performance while adding a subtle, crafted character at display sizes.
Uppercase forms project a dignified presence, while the lowercase maintains a smooth text color with recognizable, traditional letterforms. Numerals appear proportional and serifed, matching the text’s cadence and keeping a cohesive, print-oriented texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
