A serif typeface with subtly flared terminals and bracketed serifs that create a gently sculpted, calligraphic feel without strong stroke contrast. The capitals are sturdy and fairly wide, with smooth curves and controlled modulation at stroke endings; the round letters (C, O, Q) read clean and open, while E and F have crisp, confident arms. Lowercase forms are traditional and readable, with a two-storey a, a compact two-storey g, and a wedge-like t that stays clear at text sizes. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and a flowing rhythm, reinforcing a literary, text-forward texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support literary or institutional branding and titling, especially when paired with generous leading and comfortable measure.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, balancing refinement with a grounded, practical presence. The flared shaping adds warmth and a slightly historical, humanist voice, giving text an authoritative but approachable character.
Likely intended as a versatile, text-centric serif that nods to classical forms while using flared terminals to add warmth and distinctiveness. The aim appears to be dependable readability with a subtle, cultivated personality rather than overt display styling.
Spacing and rhythm in the sample text feel even and calm, producing a cohesive gray value suitable for continuous reading. The design avoids sharp, high-contrast drama, instead relying on soft flare and robust proportions to carry personality.
