This serif features gently flared stroke endings and small wedge-like terminals that broaden as they meet the baseline and cap line, giving stems a subtly calligraphic finish. Curves are smooth and open with moderate, bookish proportions; bowls in letters like C, O, and G are round and evenly drawn, while horizontals remain slender and controlled. Serifs are not heavy or blocky, and the overall rhythm is steady with clear spacing and a slightly varied, organic stroke feel. The numerals follow the same restrained logic, with graceful curves and understated terminals that keep the set cohesive.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also fits tasteful branding, packaging, and headings that benefit from a refined, classic tone without looking overly ornate.
The overall tone is composed and cultivated, evoking traditional print typography and editorial refinement rather than a modernist or overtly stylized voice. Its flared endings add a hint of humanist warmth while staying formal and reserved.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif readability with a subtle flared, calligraphic influence, producing a dignified text-and-display face with a traditional publishing character.
Distinctive flaring is most noticeable on verticals and at the ends of horizontals, creating a soft, tapered emphasis that reads well at display sizes. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates a consistent upright texture with clean punctuation and a classic ampersand.
