A serif typeface with subtly flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that give stems a gently sculpted, tapered finish. Curves are smooth and open, with a steady rhythm and restrained modulation that keeps texture even in paragraphs. Capitals are formal and balanced, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions and clear counters; numerals are straightforward and sturdy with simple, readable forms.
Well-suited to editorial design and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired, such as books, essays, and magazines. It can also handle headings and pull quotes effectively, delivering a composed, slightly warm presence for institutional communications and cultural or academic materials.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a quiet refinement that reads as trustworthy and established. The flared terminals add a faintly calligraphic warmth, keeping it from feeling overly mechanical while still remaining composed and professional.
Likely designed to provide a contemporary take on a traditional serif with flared terminals—balancing readability and an even paragraph texture with a subtly crafted, humanist finish.
In text, the face maintains an even color and calm cadence, with serifs that contribute definition without creating a sharp, high-contrast sparkle. The shapes avoid extreme quirks, prioritizing a coherent, traditional silhouette suitable for sustained reading.
