A refined serif with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that give the letterforms a subtly calligraphic, drawn quality. Proportions lean traditional with a relatively small x-height, modest ascenders, and clear stroke modulation that stays even and controlled in text. Curves are smooth and open, spacing is measured, and joins feel slightly tapered rather than blunt, creating a quiet, elegant rhythm. The caps are stately and well-balanced, with a distinctive, flowing tail on the Q and crisp diagonals on letters like V and W.
Well-suited to long-form book and editorial settings where a traditional serif texture is desired, as well as magazines and refined brand identities that benefit from a classical voice. It can also serve effectively for invitations and cultural materials where a tasteful, heritage-leaning tone is appropriate, particularly in headings, pull quotes, and short passages.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting careful typesetting and a sense of quiet authority. Its flared details add warmth and a humanist touch, keeping the mood approachable rather than austere. The font reads as polished and tasteful, with an understated sophistication suited to editorial design.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with subtle flaring and tapering to achieve a more organic, calligraphic finish. It aims for a balanced reading texture while offering distinctive details—especially in caps and numerals—that add character without becoming ornamental.
The sample text shows stable texture at display sizes, with consistent vertical emphasis and a smooth baseline flow. Numerals appear oldstyle, integrating naturally with lowercase text and reinforcing a bookish, traditional feel.
