A refined serif with subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that feel drawn rather than mechanical. Strokes show moderate modulation with gently tapered terminals, creating a lively rhythm without becoming ornamental. Proportions are balanced and readable, with generous counters and open apertures; curves are smooth and the overall texture is even in text. The lowercase includes a two-storey “g” and a single-storey “a,” and the figures appear lining with clear, bookish shapes.
Well-suited to extended reading in books and editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and open forms maintain clarity. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and refined brand systems that need a classic serif tone with a touch of warmth.
The font conveys a composed, literary tone—traditional but not old-fashioned. Its flared finishing and controlled contrast add a hint of warmth and craft, supporting a calm, confident voice suitable for long-form reading.
The design appears intended to bridge classical serif proportions with a subtly calligraphic finish, using flared terminals and moderated contrast to stay readable while adding sophistication. It aims for versatility across text and display without leaning into extreme thin/thick drama or heavy ornament.
In the sample text, spacing and color hold together well at larger sizes, producing a steady, page-like texture. Uppercase forms feel dignified and slightly formal, while the lowercase keeps the tone approachable through rounded joins and open interior spaces.
