A flared serif text face with gently widening stroke endings and subtly bracketed, wedge-like terminals. Proportions are steady and readable, with a moderate x-height and open apertures that keep counters clear at text sizes. Curves are smooth and full, while verticals and diagonals maintain an even rhythm; joins and shoulders feel slightly calligraphic rather than mechanical. Uppercase letters are stately and balanced, and the numerals follow the same restrained, traditional construction with clear distinctions.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif tone and smooth text flow are desired. It can also serve headings and pull quotes when a refined, established feel is needed, and works effectively for institutional or cultural communications that benefit from a classic voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting authority without feeling severe. Its flared terminals and soft modulation add a warm, humanist character that reads as cultivated and traditional. The voice suits content meant to feel established, editorial, and trustworthy.
The design appears aimed at comfortable, traditional reading with a slightly humanist warmth, using flared terminals to soften the page and add character while preserving a disciplined, editorial rhythm.
Spacing appears comfortably generous in running text, supporting a calm texture and steady line color. The italic is not shown; the displayed style emphasizes upright, text-oriented clarity with a subtle, crafted finish at stroke ends.
