A serif typeface with subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that give the outlines a gently calligraphic feel. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions, and many terminals taper into wedge-like finishes rather than blunt cuts. Proportions are on the wider side with generous internal space, open counters, and a steady rhythm that stays readable at text sizes while still feeling shaped and expressive. The uppercase has a dignified, slightly monumental stance, while the lowercase keeps a traditional book face structure with clear, round forms and understated movement in the joins and terminals.
Well suited to book typography, magazine features, and other longform reading where an even texture and open counters support comfort. It can also serve refined branding, packaging, and cultural communications when a classic voice with a touch of crafted personality is desired.
The overall tone reads classic and editorial, with a literary, slightly old-style warmth rather than a crisp modern severity. The flared details add a human, crafted character that feels cultivated and trustworthy, suitable for content meant to sound established and considered.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional serif readability with a more expressive, flared finishing that adds warmth and distinction. Its wide, open forms and moderated contrast suggest a focus on sustained text performance while still offering enough character for display settings.
Numerals appear old-style in spirit, with noticeable variation in widths and a lively baseline presence; figures like 2 and 3 show pronounced curves and tapered terminals. The italics are not shown, and the roman maintains a consistent, softly sculpted texture in continuous text, especially visible in the sample paragraph’s even color and comfortable spacing.
