A serif typeface with moderate contrast and subtly flared, bracketed stroke endings that give stems a gentle swelling into the serifs. Curves are smooth and generously drawn, with open counters and a steady, readable rhythm across text. Uppercase forms feel spacious and stately, while lowercase maintains a straightforward construction with a single-storey g and a compact, readable a. Numerals are sturdy and clear, matching the text color and maintaining consistent weight distribution.
Well-suited to editorial design, long-form reading, and magazine typography where a traditional serif voice and comfortable spacing are desirable. It also works effectively for branding and headlines that need a classic, reputable tone with a touch of warmth from the flared details.
The overall tone is classic and composed, with a literary, editorial feel. The flared finishing and soft curvature add warmth and approachability without losing a formal, traditional voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with a slightly contemporary softness, using flared, bracketed endings to enrich texture and improve presence in both display and text settings.
The italics are not shown; all samples appear roman. The word shapes in the text sample read cleanly at larger sizes, and the serif treatment stays consistent across straight and curved strokes, supporting a stable typographic color.
