A classic serif with gently flared stroke endings and modest, bracketed serifs that give stems a subtly sculpted feel. Curves are broad and open, with relatively round bowls (notably in O/Q) and steady, even rhythm across text. The joins and terminals read clean and deliberate, with a slightly calligraphic stress that adds warmth without becoming ornate. Uppercase proportions feel dignified and stable, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and a straightforward, readable texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a composed serif texture is desirable. It also works for headlines and pull quotes when a traditional, cultivated voice is needed without heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone is bookish and institutional—calm, confident, and a bit formal. The mild flare and moderated contrast add a human, traditional flavor that suggests heritage publishing rather than stark modernism.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, traditionally rooted reading face with a touch of warmth from flared terminals—aiming for clarity in paragraphs while preserving a familiar literary character.
Numerals appear sturdy and legible, with familiar old-style serif shaping rather than geometric construction. The sample text shows consistent word color and spacing, holding up well in longer passages without looking brittle or overly sharp.
