A serif text face with moderately flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that create a soft, sculpted finish. The contrast is noticeable but not sharp, with smooth transitions into terminals and a steady vertical emphasis. Proportions feel traditional and readable, with open counters, clear apertures, and a consistent rhythm across capitals and lowercase. The numeral set follows the same restrained, bookish construction, with rounded forms and conservative detailing suited to continuous text.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine text where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also scales nicely for section heads, pull quotes, and institutional communications that benefit from a formal, established voice.
The font conveys a classic, scholarly tone with a calm authority. Its flared serifs and measured contrast give it a subtly historic, literary character—more warm and traditional than crisp or modern—making it feel at home in established editorial contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, traditional reading experience while adding a touch of calligraphic warmth through flared endings and bracketed joins. Overall it aims for versatility across text and display by balancing classic proportions with restrained, soft detailing.
The capitals present a dignified, slightly monumental stance, while the lowercase maintains an even texture and straightforward forms that prioritize clarity. Terminals often finish with a small flare rather than a hard slab, which softens the overall color on the page without losing definition at display sizes.
