A serif face with softly flared, wedge-like terminals and subtly bracketed serifs that give strokes a gently sculpted finish. Stroke contrast is moderate, with smooth transitions and rounded curves that stay crisp rather than delicate. Proportions feel classic and steady: capitals are broad and stately, while lowercase forms are compact with a readable, traditional skeleton. Numerals are sturdy and text-oriented, matching the overall rhythm without calling attention to sharp geometric quirks.
Well-suited to long-form editorial and book typography where a traditional serif voice and steady color are needed. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage branding that benefits from a composed, credible tone.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—confident and established, with a slightly warm, humanist undercurrent from its flared stroke endings. It reads as formal but not austere, suggesting editorial seriousness and quiet refinement rather than high-fashion sharpness.
Likely designed to provide a dependable, classic serif for reading, while differentiating itself through flared terminals that add warmth and a lightly calligraphic finish. The overall construction prioritizes clear text rhythm and familiar letterforms over overt stylization.
The sample text shows an even texture in paragraphs, with clear word shapes and a consistent cadence across mixed-case settings. Terminals and serifs create a subtly dynamic edge on verticals and diagonals, adding character without disrupting readability.
