A refined serif with gently flared, bracketed serifs and a controlled, slightly calligraphic stroke flow. The letterforms show crisp terminals, moderate stroke modulation, and open counters that keep the texture airy in continuous text. Proportions feel balanced with a relatively tall lowercase that supports readability, while capitals remain stately and evenly weighted. Curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth and round, and joins in letters like n, m, and h are clean, producing a steady, bookish rhythm.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. It can also support institutional or cultural branding, especially in headlines and subheads where the flared serifs add character without becoming decorative.
The overall tone is classical and composed, with a quiet authority suited to serious reading and editorial voice. Its flared finishing gives it a subtly humanist warmth, while the sharpness of the serifs keeps the impression formal and precise.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif credibility with a slightly humanist, flared finish for a warmer, more contemporary page color. It prioritizes clarity in running text while retaining enough detail in the terminals and serifs to feel crafted and distinguished.
The numerals appear lining and neatly proportioned, with clear differentiation and consistent serif treatment, making them comfortable alongside text. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates an even color and stable spacing in paragraph settings.
