This typeface is a serif design with gently flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden into the stroke endings, giving the letterforms a subtle calligraphic underpinning. Proportions are balanced and fairly open, with rounded bowls and moderate stroke modulation that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. Serifs are not heavy slabs; instead they taper and flare, and many joins show smooth, bracket-like transitions. The lowercase has clear, readable forms with a two-storey “a” and “g”, a softly curved “f”, and a slightly angled, lively “e”, while the numerals follow the same restrained, bookish rhythm.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its open forms and moderated contrast maintain clarity. The distinctive flared terminals also work well for magazine titles, chapter openers, and refined branding that wants a classic serif feel with a slightly humanist edge.
The overall tone feels classical and literary, with a quiet elegance rather than sharp modernity. Its flared endings add warmth and a hint of hand influence, producing a dignified, editorial voice that reads as traditional and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional serif readability with a more sculpted, flared finishing that adds character at display sizes without sacrificing text performance. Its restrained modulation and steady rhythm suggest a focus on dependable typographic color for publishing and formal communication.
Capitals are clean and stately, with generous interior space in letters like C, G, and O, and a Q with a distinctive, sweeping tail. The italic is not shown; the presented style maintains an even, upright cadence with smooth curves and carefully controlled detailing that supports comfortable continuous reading.
