A serif text face with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and subtly flared terminals that broaden into bracketed serifs. The letterforms feel open and steady, with generous proportions and smooth curves, and a slightly calligraphic modulation visible at joins and terminals. Capitals are broad and confident with crisp serifs, while the lowercase maintains a readable rhythm with a normal x-height and rounded counters. Numerals are clear and traditional, with consistent weight and simple, well-supported shapes suited to continuous reading.
Well suited for editorial typography, long-form reading, and book or magazine layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for headings, pull quotes, and branding that aims for a cultivated, established tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, conveying a composed, editorial feel with a hint of old-style warmth. Its flared details add a refined, literary character without becoming ornate, making it feel authoritative and familiar.
Likely designed as a versatile serif for readable text with a classical foundation, using gentle flaring and bracketed serifs to add personality and authority while maintaining an even, contemporary rhythm on the page.
Serif shaping stays consistent across the alphabet, with noticeable flaring at stroke ends on letters like T, V, W, and y that adds presence at display sizes while remaining calm in text. The sample paragraph shows even color and stable spacing, suggesting it’s intended to hold up in dense settings without looking brittle.
