This typeface is a serif with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that give stems a subtle widening as they meet the terminals. The stroke contrast is moderate and consistent, with smooth curves and clean joins that keep the texture even in paragraph settings. Uppercase forms are restrained and stately, while the lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic rhythm with open apertures and rounded bowls; the italic is not shown. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), blending naturally with lowercase proportions and maintaining the same understated contrast and terminal treatment.
It suits book typography, magazines, and other editorial contexts where a refined serif texture is desired. The steady rhythm and open counters support continuous reading in paragraphs, while the crisp uppercase and distinctive flared terminals can also carry section heads, pull quotes, and tasteful titling.
The overall tone is composed and literary, projecting a quiet formality rather than overt display. Its flared endings add a touch of warmth and humanist softness, creating an editorial feel that reads as traditional but not ornate.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with flared, calligraphy-informed terminals to create a readable, cultured voice for contemporary publishing. By keeping contrast and detail controlled, it aims for versatility across both text and display sizes without losing its characteristic warmth.
In text, the font maintains a steady color with clear word shapes and comfortable spacing. The flared terminals and modest serifs are noticeable without becoming decorative, supporting long-form reading while still giving headings a polished presence.
