A refined serif with gently tapered strokes that broaden into subtly flared, bracketed terminals. The letterforms show moderate stroke modulation with crisp curves, open counters, and a steady baseline rhythm. Capitals are proportioned with a traditional book-face feel, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation between stems, bowls, and shoulders; the overall color reads even and composed in text. Numerals appear oldstyle-influenced in character, with smooth curves and distinct serifed endings that keep them consistent with the text style.
Well suited to long-form text such as books, essays, and reports, where its steady rhythm and open forms support comfortable reading. It also works effectively for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and cultured brand applications that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy typographic voice.
The font conveys a classical, literary tone—measured and polished rather than showy. Its flared terminals add a quiet calligraphic warmth, giving the page an established, authoritative voice suited to traditional reading environments.
The design appears intended to bridge classical serif construction with gently flared, calligraphic terminals, aiming for readability and a nuanced, humanist warmth. It prioritizes a balanced text color and familiar proportions to feel dependable in professional publishing contexts.
Serifs are present but not heavy, and the flaring at stroke ends provides a soft, ink-trace impression without becoming decorative. Spacing and proportions appear geared toward continuous reading, with clear forms for commonly confusable characters and a consistent, dignified texture in paragraph settings.
