A text-oriented serif with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs that give stems a soft, tapered finish. The contrast is moderate with smooth transitions into hairlines, and the overall drawing favors open counters and readable apertures. Proportions lean slightly narrow with a steady rhythm in running text; uppercase forms are stately and balanced while the lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction. Numerals appear oldstyle, integrating smoothly with lowercase texture.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture supports comfortable reading. It can also serve for literary titles, headings, and understated branding that benefits from a refined, established tone without appearing overly formal.
The tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and cultivated restraint rather than sharp modernity. Its flared terminals add warmth and a lightly calligraphic feel, creating a composed, elegant voice suitable for long-form reading.
The design appears intended to bridge classic serif readability with a subtly expressive, flared-terminal finish, providing a distinctive yet restrained text face. It prioritizes consistent rhythm and legibility while adding warmth through tapered strokes and traditional proportions.
In text, the forms maintain a calm, even color with clear word shapes and minimal ornamentation beyond the flared endings. The italics are not shown; the sample indicates the roman carries enough character for display sizing while remaining primarily optimized for continuous reading.
