A serif text face with subtly flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs, giving stems a gently sculpted, calligraphic feel. Curves are full and rounded with moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes, and joins show slight tapering that creates an ink-trap-like crispness in tight interior spaces. Proportions are traditional and readable, with steady spacing and a rhythm that stays calm in paragraphs while still showing character in individual letterforms and numerals.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine layouts where a stable texture and traditional serif voice are desired. It can also support display use—chapter titles, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks—when you want a refined, heritage-leaning impression without heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, with a quiet formality that reads as trustworthy and established. Its flared finishing and mild calligraphic cues add warmth and a hint of heritage without becoming decorative, lending an editorial, literary voice.
Likely designed as a characterful text serif that balances classical readability with modern polish, using flared endings and subtle tapering to add warmth and distinction while keeping paragraph performance steady.
The lowercase shows a comfortable, text-oriented build with clear counters and a slightly lively baseline presence, while capitals keep a dignified stance suited to headings. Numerals appear proportionate and consistent with the text color, maintaining clarity alongside letters in running copy.
