A refined serif with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs that create a soft, sculpted finish rather than crisp slab-like terminals. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions and slightly calligraphic modulation, giving round letters a calm, even color while keeping verticals confident. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with compact, well-balanced capitals and a lowercase that reads steadily; counters are open and curves are generously drawn. Numerals and punctuation follow the same restrained, tapered logic, maintaining a cohesive rhythm in text.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial work, and magazine layouts where a familiar serif structure and steady text color support comfortable reading. The distinctive flared endings also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that need a classic, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority without feeling severe. Its flared terminals and measured contrast lend a quiet elegance that suits traditional, literary settings as well as contemporary layouts seeking a dignified voice.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif readability with a more sculpted, flared-terminal finish, offering a distinctive yet conservative voice. It aims for versatility across text and display by keeping proportions and contrast controlled while letting terminals provide personality.
In the text sample, spacing and stroke rhythm produce a stable, readable texture, with strong capital presence and a lowercase that stays composed at larger display sizes. The subtle tapering at terminals adds character in headings while remaining unobtrusive in running text.
