A flared serif with gently tapering strokes and bracketed, wedge-like terminals that broaden into the serifs rather than ending abruptly. The modulation is moderate, giving clear thick–thin rhythm without feeling delicate, and curves are smooth and generously rounded. Uppercase forms are stately and open, with slightly calligraphic shaping in diagonals and joins; the lowercase is compact and readable with a traditional two-storey “a” and “g” and short-to-moderate ascenders. Numerals show oldstyle influence, with varied heights and a flowing “3” and “9” that echo the serifed, tapered stroke endings.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a comfortable, traditional serif texture is desirable. It can also support refined branding, invitations, or cultural institutions where a classic voice and gentle sophistication are needed.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting heritage and craft more than a stark modern voice. Its soft flaring and controlled contrast add warmth and a quiet elegance, making the texture feel composed and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional reading experience with added warmth through flared, tapering terminals. It balances timeless proportions with a subtly calligraphic finish to feel both familiar and crafted in continuous text.
Spacing appears even and calm in the text sample, producing a steady paragraph color. The design favors rounded bowls and restrained details over sharp corners, which helps it stay legible while maintaining a distinctly traditional personality.
