A flared serif with gently swelling stems and tapered, bracketed serifs that read more like softened wedges than hard slabs. Curves are smooth and generously open, with moderate apertures and rounded bowls that keep the texture even in paragraph settings. Capitals feel stately and slightly calligraphic, with subtle stroke modulation and crisp terminals, while lowercase forms remain sturdy and readable with clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals are proportional and harmonious with the text, maintaining the same quiet, tapered finishing throughout.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a calm, traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits headings and pull quotes when a refined, classical tone is needed without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a bookish refinement that suggests established editorial typography rather than display exuberance. Its flared endings add a humane, slightly calligraphic warmth, giving text a measured, dignified voice.
The design appears intended to provide an approachable, classical serif for continuous reading, using flared stroke endings and gentle bracketing to add warmth and historic resonance while preserving clarity in paragraph typography.
In the text sample, the rhythm stays smooth across long runs, and the flared terminals help prevent the page from feeling mechanical. The letterforms show careful balancing of sharp points (as in V/W/Y) against rounded forms (C/G/O/Q), creating a stable, classical texture.
