A flared serif with wedge-like terminals and gently swelling stroke endings that create a subtle calligraphic feel without strong contrast. Proportions are balanced and fairly compact, with rounded bowls and open apertures that keep forms clear at text sizes. Serifs read as tapered and slightly bracketed rather than slabby, and curves transition smoothly into stems, producing a steady, even rhythm across words. Numerals are sturdy and traditional in structure, with clear differentiation and consistent alignment.
Well suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a comfortable reading rhythm is important. It also works effectively for headlines and subheads that want a classic, slightly humanist presence, making it a good option for institutional branding, cultural organizations, and packaging that leans traditional.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a quiet sophistication that suggests print heritage. Its flared endings add warmth and humanist character, giving text an approachable, literary voice rather than a strictly clinical one.
The design appears intended to provide a reliable text serif with added personality through flared, wedge-like terminals. It aims for a familiar, print-oriented voice while maintaining clarity and even texture in paragraph settings.
Uppercase forms feel stable and architectural, while lowercase maintains a readable, text-first texture with distinct joins and terminals. The design avoids sharp extremes, favoring moderated details that support continuous reading and clean reproduction in longer passages.
