This typeface is a serif with subtly flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs that give strokes a gently tapered, calligraphic finish. Proportions feel balanced and traditionally bookish, with moderate capitals, round bowls, and clear, open counters. Stroke modulation is restrained, but the widening at joins and endings adds warmth and definition, especially in letters like C, G, S, and the diagonals of V/W. The lowercase shows steady rhythm and readable forms, with a two-storey g and compact, neatly finished serifs that stay crisp at text sizes.
It performs well for book interiors, essays, and magazine typography where a traditional serif texture is desired. The clear shapes and moderated detailing also make it suitable for institutional branding, cultural programs, and formal print pieces that benefit from a timeless, dignified tone.
Overall tone is classical and composed, suggesting editorial polish and a quietly academic character. The flared shaping lends a human touch—more crafted than mechanical—without becoming ornate, producing a refined, trustworthy voice suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif reading face by adding flared, subtly calligraphic endings for warmth and distinction, while preserving an even, highly legible text rhythm.
Numerals appear oldstyle-influenced in feel, with varied widths and gentle curvature, matching the text’s literary color. The italic is not shown; the samples demonstrate an even texture with slightly expressive terminals that add personality while keeping a conventional serif silhouette.
