A refined serif with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that give the forms a calligraphic, hand-shaped feel. Curves are smooth and open, with moderate modulation and tapered terminals visible on letters like C, S, and a. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows a traditional, bookish rhythm with clear counters and a two-storey g. Numerals are elegant and old-style in spirit, with flowing curves and delicate joins that maintain an even, readable texture in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a polished serif texture is desired. It can also work effectively for elegant headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as programs or invitations, where its flared detailing adds sophistication without feeling harsh.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with a quiet warmth that reads as literary and editorial rather than overtly decorative. Its tapered details and subtle flare add a sense of craft and tradition, lending text a composed, slightly formal voice.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with gentle flaring and tapered terminals to create a humanist, crafted texture. It aims for readability and a dignified presence, balancing classic proportions with nuanced, calligraphic finishing.
Stroke endings often finish in subtle wedges rather than blunt cuts, which softens the silhouette and helps lines of text feel continuous. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman, emphasizing a steady, upright rhythm and consistent spacing.
