A serif typeface with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs, giving stems a soft, calligraphic taper rather than blunt terminals. Contrast is moderate, with smooth transitions between thick and thin strokes and a steady, even color in text. Proportions are traditional and slightly spacious, with open counters and rounded bowls; joins and curves feel carefully modeled rather than geometric. The lowercase shows readable, bookish forms with a two-storey “g,” a restrained “a,” and compact, tidy punctuation-like details on “i/j,” supporting clear rhythm across words. Numerals follow the same classical logic, with curved figures and delicate finishing strokes that keep them consistent with the letters.
Works well for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve as a refined display face for chapter titles, pull quotes, and magazine headlines that need a classic voice with subtle warmth.
The overall tone is classical and literary, projecting a measured, editorial seriousness without feeling austere. Flared endings and smooth modulation add a quiet elegance that reads as cultured and established. It feels well-suited to content that benefits from tradition and credibility rather than novelty.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif readability with a softer, more calligraphic finish via flared stroke endings. Its consistent modulation and conservative proportions suggest an emphasis on comfortable text setting and an established, formal typographic character.
In the sample text, spacing and word shapes remain stable, and the flared terminals contribute a gentle horizontal emphasis that can make lines feel slightly more textured than a purely transitional book serif. The capitals are dignified and restrained, pairing comfortably with the lowercase for headline-to-text continuity.
