A refined serif with gently flared, bracketed terminals and softly modulated strokes. The letterforms keep a steady, readable rhythm with open counters and rounded bowls, while details like the slightly tapered joins and subtly shaped serifs add a calligraphic finish. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and balanced; lowercase shows a moderate x-height with clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals are lining and integrate smoothly with the text color, maintaining the same measured contrast and terminal shaping.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a stable text color and traditional serif cues support comprehension. It can also perform in headings, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding where a classical, trustworthy voice is desired.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, suggesting heritage and credibility without feeling overly ornate. Its flared endings and smooth modulation add warmth and a humanist touch, lending an approachable formality suited to long-form reading.
Likely intended as a general-purpose reading serif that blends classical proportions with subtly flared terminals to create a recognizable, humanist texture. The design emphasizes dependable legibility and a cultivated tone, aiming to feel timeless rather than trendy.
Curves are drawn with restrained softness rather than sharp geometry, and terminals often end in small wedges or flares that give the face a distinctive texture at display sizes. The italic is not shown; the visible roman prioritizes clarity and evenness across mixed-case text.
