A refined serif with subtly flared, gently bracketed terminals and smooth, rounded joins. Strokes remain fairly even in weight, with slight modulation that reads as softly calligraphic rather than sharply chiseled. Proportions are balanced and readable: capitals are wide and stately, lowercase is open with clear counters, and spacing feels generous, giving the text an airy rhythm. Numerals follow the same poised, bookish tone, with traditional shapes and steady alignment.
Well suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even rhythm and open counters support sustained legibility. It also performs nicely in elegant headlines, pull quotes, and section titles where its flared terminals can add a subtle sense of craft and tradition without becoming decorative.
The overall tone is classical and composed, suggesting book typography and traditional publishing. Its soft flaring and restrained detailing add a quiet elegance without feeling ornamental, making it feel trustworthy and cultivated.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a traditional serif for reading-focused typography, combining familiar, classical letterforms with softly flared endings to add warmth and distinction in both text and display settings.
Details like the curved leg on R, the angled, tapering diagonals in V/W, and the distinctive Q tail add character while staying cohesive. The lowercase shows a clear two-storey a and g, reinforcing a conventional text-centric voice with comfortable readability.
