A serif text face with subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed transitions that give stems a gently tapered, calligraphic feel. Proportions are compact in the lowercase, with a noticeably short x-height, modest ascenders, and deeper descenders that add vertical rhythm. Contrast is moderate and smoothly modulated rather than sharply chiseled, keeping counters open and strokes even at text sizes. The design shows a traditional serif skeleton with slightly lively curves and a calm, consistent texture across lines.
Well suited to book interiors, editorial layouts, and other reading-focused typography where a steady, traditional texture is desired. It can also serve for headings and pull quotes when a classic serif presence is needed without excessive contrast or decoration.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a composed, authoritative voice suited to long-form reading. Its gentle flare and traditional proportions add a literary, slightly old-world refinement without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a comfortable, traditional serif for continuous text, using flared terminals and moderate modulation to maintain warmth and clarity while preserving a formal, print-oriented character.
Figures appear oldstyle, with varying heights and alignments that blend naturally into running text. Capitals are stately and well-balanced, and the lowercase maintains an even cadence; the italic is not shown in the samples provided.
