A serif typeface with gently flared terminals and bracketed serifs, showing moderate stroke modulation and a clean, disciplined rhythm. The forms are open and legible, with broad, stable curves and slightly tapered joins that give strokes a subtly calligraphic finish without feeling ornate. Uppercase letters read stately and well-proportioned, while lowercase shows a clear, traditional construction with tidy terminals and balanced counters. Numerals are crisp and bookish, matching the text color and serif treatment of the letters for consistent texture.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and other long-form reading where a refined serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely for headlines, cultural or academic materials, and brand identities that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy voice.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, combining formality with a quiet warmth from the flared endings. It suggests traditional print typography—measured, credible, and slightly ceremonial—without becoming stiff or overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical serif construction, using subtle flaring and moderated contrast to create a distinctive yet highly usable text-and-display companion. The goal seems to be an elegant, dependable reading experience with just enough personality for titles and identity work.
In text, the spacing and counters maintain a smooth, even color, and the flaring at stroke ends adds character at display sizes while remaining controlled in paragraph settings. The design’s finish favors clarity and polish over extreme contrast or heavy ornamentation.
