A serif text face with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that give stems a tapered, calligraphic finish. The letterforms show moderate stroke modulation and a steady, readable rhythm, with generous counters and open apertures in letters like c and e. Capitals are formal and restrained with classical proportions, while the lowercase mixes rounded bowls with slightly sharpened joins and concise terminals, keeping the texture even in paragraph settings. Numerals are clear and traditional in feel, matching the serifed, slightly tapered construction of the alphabet.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can carry essays, magazines, and literature-oriented branding, and it works effectively for headings when you want a reserved, classical presence rather than a high-contrast display look.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, balancing refinement with a warm, human touch. Its subtle flare and moderated contrast suggest an editorial sensibility—polished rather than decorative, and traditional without feeling rigid.
The design appears intended to deliver a timeless serif reading experience with a hint of calligraphic flare—combining classical proportions with gentle, tapered endings to add warmth and distinction while staying highly legible.
In running text the face maintains a calm gray value, helped by consistent stroke tapering and clean interior shapes. The terminals and serifs add character without becoming spiky, supporting comfortable long-form reading.
