This serif shows subtly flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that give the letterforms a gently calligraphic, carved quality. Strokes are clean and evenly controlled with moderate modulation, producing clear, crisp joins and a steady typographic color in text. The lowercase has a comparatively tall presence with generous counters and open apertures, while the capitals feel stately and well-proportioned with sharp, tapered terminals. Figures are lining and follow the same flared, serifed logic, keeping rhythm consistent across mixed text and numerals.
This font is well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a readable serif with a refined, humanist edge is desired. It can handle body copy comfortably while also scaling up for headings, pull quotes, and titling that benefit from its sharp, flared terminals.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a warm, traditional voice rather than a stark or clinical one. Its flared details add a touch of humanist character, suggesting craftsmanship and quiet elegance suitable for long-form reading and editorial contexts.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional serif readability with a slightly calligraphic, flared finish, offering a familiar text face with added warmth and distinction. Its consistent rhythm suggests a focus on comfortable continuous reading while retaining enough character for display use.
In the sample text, the face maintains smooth spacing and a stable baseline rhythm, with punctuation and diagonals staying crisp and legible. The flared endings and wedge serifs remain visible at text sizes, contributing personality without becoming decorative.
