A text-oriented serif with gently flared stroke endings and understated, bracket-like serifs that give stems a subtly sculpted finish. Proportions are balanced and fairly traditional, with moderate apertures and open counters that keep the rhythm even in paragraph settings. Curves are smooth and calm rather than sharp, and joins stay clean, producing a steady grayscale and comfortable spacing across the alphabet and figures. The overall drawing favors clarity and continuity, with rounded forms (C, O, G) sitting confidently alongside crisp verticals and a restrained, bookish character set.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and magazine typography where a stable text color and comfortable reading rhythm matter. It can also support understated brand identities and formal communications that benefit from a classic serif presence without high-contrast delicacy.
The tone is quietly authoritative and familiar, evoking printed literature and editorial typography. Its flared details add a touch of warmth and craft without becoming decorative, yielding a composed, professional voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose serif for continuous reading, using flared terminals and restrained detailing to add character while preserving neutrality and legibility.
The sample text shows consistent texture at reading sizes, with punctuation and numerals that feel integrated rather than attention-seeking. The design reads as traditional but not strictly oldstyle or modern, landing in a versatile middle ground suited to long-form use.
