A restrained serif with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed terminals that soften transitions into the serifs. The stroke modulation is modest, keeping forms even and readable while still showing a calligraphic influence in the tapered joins and curved terminals. Proportions are fairly classical with balanced capitals, round bowls, and open apertures; the lowercase shows a slightly organic rhythm with a two-storey a and g and a compact, readable texture. Numerals are simple and text-friendly, matching the letterforms’ understated detailing.
This design fits extended reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a quiet serif with a refined finish is desired. It also works well for headings, pull quotes, and institutional documents that benefit from a traditional, composed typographic voice.
The overall tone is poised and literary, suggesting editorial polish rather than display drama. Its flared, slightly calligraphic finish adds warmth and craft while maintaining a calm, traditional voice suited to long-form reading.
The font appears intended as a versatile text serif that blends classical proportions with gently flared, calligraphy-derived endings to achieve warmth and readability without strong contrast or heavy ornament.
Uppercase forms maintain a dignified, old-style presence, with rounded C/G and a Q featuring a clear, unobtrusive tail. Lowercase punctuation and dots are small and crisp, and spacing in the sample text reads even, producing a smooth text color without sharp sparkle.
