This serif shows gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs that read as tapered rather than slab-like. Curves are smooth and open, with a restrained stroke modulation and clean, crisp joins. Proportions favor relatively tall ascenders and descenders with compact lowercase bodies, giving the face a slightly elevated, elegant rhythm in text. The capitals feel stately and well-balanced, while the lowercase maintains a clear, traditional structure with rounded bowls and neat, controlled terminals.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a traditional serif texture is desired, and it can also serve effectively for chapter titles, pull quotes, and display lines that benefit from its flared detailing. The design’s composed, classical feel also makes it a good fit for identity work in cultural, academic, or heritage-leaning contexts.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, with a reserved refinement that suggests editorial credibility and tradition. Its calm rhythm and discreet detailing keep it formal without becoming ornate, lending a composed, literary voice.
The design appears intended to combine a traditional serif foundation with flared, calligraphy-adjacent terminals to create a refined reading texture and an elevated, timeless presence in both text and display use.
In the sample text, spacing and counters stay open enough to preserve clarity, while the flared endings add a gentle liveliness at larger sizes. Numerals appear straightforward and readable, matching the serifed, slightly calligraphic character of the letters.
