A serif design with clear, bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that add a gentle, calligraphic lift without becoming decorative. Strokes stay largely even, with restrained modulation and clean, sharply finished terminals. Uppercase proportions feel sturdy and slightly broad, while lowercase forms show open apertures and rounded bowls that keep text color even. The italic is not shown; the roman maintains a steady rhythm, with slightly lively joins and a confident, print-oriented silhouette.
Well-suited to book typography and long-form editorial settings where a steady texture and familiar serif structure support readability. The flared endings also give it presence for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding that wants a traditional voice with a slightly contemporary edge.
The overall tone reads classical and editorial—formal enough for publishing, but softened by the flared details and generous curves. It suggests tradition and credibility while staying approachable rather than austere. The impression is literary and composed, with a subtle humanist warmth.
The design appears intended to bridge classic serif conventions with a subtly expressive, flared finishing language. It aims for dependable readability in text while providing enough distinctive shaping at joins and terminals to feel curated and premium in display use.
In the sample text, the face holds up well at larger sizes, where the flared endings and bracket transitions become more apparent and give headlines a distinctive finish. Numerals appear sturdy and legible, with clear shapes and consistent weight relative to the capitals. Spacing appears comfortable, contributing to a calm, even paragraph texture.
