A refined serif with subtly flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes stay mostly even in weight, with gentle modulation that reads more humanist than mechanical. The capitals are proportionally balanced with clean, open interior spaces, while the lowercase shows a clear, readable structure with moderate ascenders and descenders. Curves are smooth and slightly generous, and terminals often finish with a tapered, calligraphic feel rather than blunt cuts, creating an even rhythm across words and lines.
It performs well in continuous reading settings such as books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts, where its open counters and steady texture support legibility. It also suits refined branding, cultural communications, and secondary headlines where a classic serif voice is desired without heavy contrast or sharp, brittle details.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, projecting quiet confidence rather than showiness. Its restrained detailing and steady rhythm suggest an editorial sensibility—polished, cultivated, and suited to content-forward typography. The slight flaring in stems adds a subtle warmth that keeps it from feeling overly formal or cold.
The font appears designed to provide a traditional serif reading experience with a slightly humanist, flared-stem character. Its intent seems to balance clarity and warmth, delivering an understated, dependable texture for editorial typography while retaining enough personality for display use at larger sizes.
The design maintains consistent spacing and steady color in paragraph settings, with clear differentiation in key shapes (notably the open bowls and rounded forms). Numerals appear lining and straightforward, matching the text’s calm, traditional voice without drawing attention away from the reading experience.
