A flared serif with bracketed, gently tapering serifs and softly modulated strokes. The letterforms have open bowls and apertures, rounded joins, and a measured rhythm that keeps texture even in paragraph settings. Uppercase proportions are stately and relatively wide, while the lowercase shows a notably tall x-height and simple, readable construction. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel with smooth curves and tapered endings, maintaining the same calm, lightly sculpted stroke behavior.
Well suited to book and magazine typography, essays, and other long-form editorial contexts where an even, readable texture is important. It can also carry refined branding, pull quotes, and headlines, especially where a classic serif tone is desired without excessive sharpness.
The overall tone is classic and composed, with a bookish refinement that reads as contemporary-traditional rather than ornate. Its restrained detailing and steady color give it an editorial, trustworthy voice suited to long-form reading as well as elegant display moments.
The design appears intended to balance traditional serif cues with a softer, flared finish and a tall, efficient lowercase for comfortable reading. The emphasis is on steady rhythm, open counters, and understated detailing that scales from text to display without changing character.
Terminals often finish with subtle flare rather than sharp cuts, which softens the silhouette and reduces harsh contrast in text. Curved letters like C, G, O, and S appear generously drawn, helping maintain clarity at larger sizes while still forming a cohesive text texture.
