A sturdy serif with softly flared terminals and bracketed serifs that give strokes a gently sculpted finish. The drawing favors open, rounded counters and smooth curves, paired with firm vertical stems and clear horizontal structure. Uppercase proportions feel stable and traditional, while the lowercase shows a readable, contemporary rhythm with straightforward forms and modest modulation at joins. Numerals are clear and evenly weighted, matching the text color of the letters without looking decorative.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, articles, and reports where an even, comfortable text color is needed. It also works for editorial headlines and subheads, and can support brand systems that want a traditional serif with a slightly softened, contemporary finish.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, with a calm authority that reads as trustworthy and composed. Subtle flaring and soft bracketing add warmth and a slightly humanist feel, avoiding a cold or overly mechanical texture. It suggests a polished, literary voice rather than a loud display personality.
The design appears intended to balance classic serif conventions with subtle flaring and softened terminals for a modern, approachable text voice. It prioritizes steady rhythm, clarity, and a refined presence that remains versatile across paragraph and headline settings.
The sample text shows an even, consistent texture across mixed case, with good separation between similar shapes (notably round letters versus straight-sided forms). Punctuation and spacing support a clean reading flow, and the capitals sit confidently without dominating the line.
