A refined serif with softly flared strokes and pronounced bracketed serifs that widen into gently tapered endings. The forms balance round bowls with crisp, wedge-like entry and exit strokes, creating a steady rhythm and a subtly calligraphic texture. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and stately, while the lowercase shows sturdy verticals, open apertures, and clear, rounded counters. Numerals share the same serifed, tapered construction, keeping the overall color consistent in text.
Well-suited to editorial and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired, including books, magazines, and reports. It can also support premium branding and packaging, especially where a traditional, cultivated tone and a lightly expressive serif treatment are beneficial.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, with a warm, humanist polish rather than a rigid, mechanical feel. Its flared detailing adds a touch of ceremony and gravitas, making it feel established and trustworthy while remaining approachable.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional serif reading experience enlivened by flared, calligraphy-influenced stroke endings. It aims for clarity in continuous text while offering enough character in the terminals and serifs to carry display settings like headings and titling.
Curves transition smoothly into stems, and many joins show careful bracketing that helps the letterforms read cleanly at text sizes. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates an even, readable texture with slightly lively stroke endings that keep paragraphs from feeling flat.
