This typeface is a serif with subtly flared stroke endings and tapered stems that give it a gently calligraphic, carved quality. Curves are smooth and generously open, with round bowls (notably in C, O, and the lowercase o) and restrained detailing that keeps the overall rhythm calm. Serifs are understated and integrated into the strokes rather than sharply bracketed, and the diagonals in letters like V, W, and Y show a slight modulation at their terminals. Numerals are straightforward and readable, matching the text’s quiet, traditional texture.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a steady, comfortable texture is important. The restrained flaring and clean proportions also make it a good choice for magazine headings, cultural branding, and packaging that needs a classic but not overly formal voice.
The overall tone is refined and bookish, with a warm, humanist feel rather than a strictly mechanical one. It suggests classical editorial typography—polished and trustworthy—while the flared terminals add a subtle handcrafted character that feels dignified and calm.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a distinctive flared finish that adds warmth and craft without becoming decorative. It prioritizes a composed text rhythm, aiming for versatility across paragraphs and display sizes while maintaining a recognizable, gently sculpted identity.
Spacing appears even and text color is consistent, producing a smooth paragraph texture in the sample. The letterforms lean toward clarity over ornament, with forms like the lowercase g and q staying simple and unobtrusive, supporting continuous reading.
