This serif shows flared, wedge-like serifs and gently swelling stroke endings that give the forms a subtly calligraphic flow. Stroke contrast is moderate, with rounded joins and softly modeled curves that keep the texture even in running text. Proportions lean toward traditional book types: capitals are broad and steady, lowercase counters are open, and the overall rhythm reads smooth and measured rather than sharp or rigid. Numerals and punctuation carry the same slightly sculpted finish, with clear silhouettes and consistent weight distribution.
Well-suited to book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture supports comfortable reading. It also performs nicely for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and brand identities that want a classical, crafted voice without heavy ornamentation.
The tone is classic and literary, with a warm, humanist softness that feels cultured rather than formal. Its flared detailing adds a touch of historic character, suggesting seriousness and craft without becoming ornate. Overall it conveys a calm, editorial confidence suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with flared, gently calligraphic stroke endings, creating a readable text face with a distinctive, warm finish. It aims for versatility across text and display by keeping contrast and detailing controlled while letting the terminals provide character.
In the sample text, the face maintains a stable gray value with crisp word shapes, and the flared stroke endings help define letters at larger display sizes while staying composed in paragraph settings. The italic is not shown, but the roman’s modeling provides a subtle dynamic that keeps the page lively.
