This is a text-oriented serif with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show moderate contrast with rounded transitions, giving strokes a subtly calligraphic feel without becoming ornate. Proportions are balanced and slightly generous in the rounds, with open counters and smooth curves that keep paragraphs calm and even. Capitals are sturdy and formal, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm; details like the two-storey “a” and “g” and the restrained, tapered terminals reinforce a traditional reading texture.
It suits book interiors, magazines, and other editorial settings where sustained readability and a traditional voice are desired. It can also serve well for headings and subheads in print layouts when a restrained, classic serif presence is needed.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a quiet elegance that feels familiar and trustworthy. Its flared endings add a touch of warmth and craft, keeping the voice from feeling overly rigid or mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, print-friendly serif with a gently humanist, flared character—prioritizing readable texture, graceful curves, and an understated sense of tradition.
In text, the face maintains an even color and consistent spacing, supporting comfortable long-form reading. Numerals match the serifed, slightly tapered treatment of the letters, helping figures sit naturally within editorial typography.
