A traditional serif with subtly flared terminals and bracketed serifs that read as softly sculpted rather than sharply slabbed. Strokes show moderated contrast with smooth transitions and slightly tapered joins, giving the letters a gently calligraphic rhythm. Proportions are balanced with generous capitals, open apertures, and round forms that stay stable and evenly weighted across the alphabet. Lowercase forms are clean and readable, with a two-storey “g,” a compact “a,” and a calm, upright texture that holds together well in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine articles, where its open counters and steady rhythm support comfortable paragraphs. It also works effectively for refined branding, packaging, and institutional materials that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone feels classical and editorial, conveying trust, formality, and a bookish sophistication. Its softened flares and restrained contrast add a touch of warmth, keeping the voice refined without becoming ornate or fragile.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, traditional reading experience with a distinctive flared-serif signature. It balances classical proportions with softened details to achieve a timeless look that remains legible and composed in continuous text.
Curves are drawn with smooth, confident arcs and the serifs tend to widen into the stroke endings, which adds presence at text sizes. Numerals follow the same understated, old-world character, with rounded figures and consistent serif treatment that supports continuous reading.
