This serif typeface shows gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that give stems a tapered, calligraphic finish rather than blunt, slab-like cuts. Curves are round and open, with moderate modulation that stays subtle across the set. Uppercase forms feel stately and balanced, while the lowercase reads smoothly with a familiar, text-oriented rhythm; details like the two-storey “g” and the angled, slightly calligraphic joins add a traditional texture. Numerals are lining and proportionally varied, integrating comfortably with the capitals and maintaining the same restrained flare at terminals.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where the open counters and steady rhythm support continuous text. It also works well for headings, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural materials that benefit from a traditional, humanist serif voice.
Overall, the font conveys a composed, literary tone—traditional without feeling overly ornate. The flared endings add warmth and a lightly crafted character, suggesting editorial polish and quiet authority rather than stark modernity.
The design appears intended to provide a versatile, text-first serif with a subtly flared, hand-informed finish—aiming for comfort in reading while preserving a refined, classical presence.
Spacing appears even and readable in the text sample, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (e.g., I/l/1) aided by serifs and varied forms. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates a consistent, upright roman with classic text-face proportions.
