This serif shows gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs, giving the letters a subtly calligraphic build rather than a sharply mechanical one. Curves are smooth and generous, with open counters and a steady rhythm that reads evenly in text. Stroke contrast is present but moderate, with tapered joins and terminals that widen slightly into the serif/flare. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented, with straightforward, upright italics absent in the sample and a consistent, unobtrusive texture across paragraphs.
It performs best in continuous reading—books, long-form articles, and editorial layouts—where its open shapes and moderate contrast maintain clarity. The oldstyle numerals and traditional proportions also suit footnotes, captions, and scholarly typography that benefits from a cohesive text color.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a measured formality suited to editorial settings. Its flared details add warmth and a lightly historic flavor, keeping the page feeling human and composed rather than stark or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, text-first serif with a touch of calligraphic warmth via flared terminals and bracketed serifs. It aims for comfortable legibility and a quietly distinguished voice rather than display-driven personality.
The lowercase shows a two-storey “g” and a crisp, narrow “t” with a small crossbar, while the capitals maintain restrained, book-style proportions. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and ascenders/descenders that blend naturally into running text.
