A refined serif with gently flared stroke endings and small wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than bracketed. Strokes maintain an even, low-contrast rhythm, while terminals subtly broaden to soften joins and corners. Proportions are text-friendly with a tall x-height, generous apertures, and open counters; curves are smooth and measured, and overall spacing reads calm and even. The uppercase has a stately presence without feeling heavy, and the lowercase maintains clarity through simple, unforced shapes and clean entry/exit strokes.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable, even texture is important. It can also support refined branding—especially for cultural, publishing, or artisanal contexts—where a subtle flared serif adds distinction without becoming ornamental.
The tone is classic and literary, conveying quiet confidence rather than display-driven drama. Its flared endings add a touch of elegance and warmth, giving the face a slightly editorial, bookish character that feels composed and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to balance traditional serif cues with a smoother, more contemporary readability: modest serifs, flared terminals, and open forms that keep pages feeling calm and accessible. It aims for versatility in text and editorial use while retaining a quietly distinctive signature in the stroke endings.
Numerals appear straightforward and readable, with rounded forms that match the soft flare of the serifs and terminals. The overall texture in paragraph settings is consistent and lightly colored, supporting longer reading without calling attention to individual details.
