This serif shows gently tapered strokes with subtly flared, wedge-like terminals that create a soft, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are small and bracketed rather than blunt, and the contrast is moderate, with smooth transitions into hairlines. Proportions feel traditionally book-oriented: rounded capitals with generous bowls, a steady baseline, and open apertures that keep texture readable in paragraph settings. The lowercase has a calm, readable build with a two-storey “g” and “a,” a modestly sized x-height, and slightly varied widths that avoid a rigid, mechanical feel.
Well-suited to book typography, magazine layouts, and other editorial systems where a refined serif texture is needed at text sizes. It can also support branding, cultural identities, and packaging that benefit from a classic, well-mannered voice without heavy ornament.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a quiet elegance that reads as cultured rather than showy. Its flared finishing gives it a warm, humanist voice suited to long-form reading and editorial environments, while still feeling formal enough for institutional or heritage-leaning design.
The design appears intended to provide an approachable, traditional serif with a subtly calligraphic finish—prioritizing comfortable reading and an elevated, editorial texture through tapered strokes and understated bracketed detailing.
The numerals appear text-friendly and consistent in weight with the lowercase, with clear differentiation between forms and smooth curves. The italics are not shown, and the displayed style maintains a consistent upright posture and restrained detailing throughout.
