A serif text face with gently flared, bracketed terminals and a measured, calligraphic modulation. Stems show subtle widening into the serifs rather than hard, rectangular endings, giving the outlines a softly sculpted feel. Proportions are balanced and readable, with fairly open apertures and counters, moderate ascenders/descenders, and steady spacing that keeps lines even in running text. Curves are clean and controlled, and the overall drawing favors clarity over ornament while retaining a traditional serif texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif color is desired. It also fits brand systems and packaging that want an understated, heritage-leaning tone, and performs cleanly for headings when set with generous tracking and line spacing.
The tone is classical and composed, with a quiet authority associated with editorial typography. The flared finishing adds a hint of warmth and craft, making the voice feel literary and slightly formal without becoming decorative or fussy.
The design appears intended as a versatile, text-forward serif that blends classical proportions with flared, gently tapered stroke endings to create a refined page texture. It aims to stay neutral enough for sustained reading while adding a subtle crafted signature through its terminal treatment.
Uppercase forms read stately and stable, while the lowercase maintains a smooth rhythm with consistent joins and terminals. Figures appear lining and proportionally integrated with the text, supporting continuous reading and straightforward numeric settings.
