This serif shows a humanist, oldstyle construction with softly flared, wedge-like serifs and gently bracketed joins. Strokes have moderate contrast and a slightly calligraphic modulation, giving curves a smooth, steady rhythm rather than sharp stress. Proportions feel open and readable, with rounded bowls, tapered terminals, and a restrained, traditional texture in paragraph settings. Capitals are dignified and balanced, while lowercase forms maintain clear counters and a consistent serif treatment that supports continuous reading.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine features where a classic serif texture is desirable. It can also support refined branding, cultural institutions, and formal printed materials that benefit from a traditional, crafted voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a quiet warmth that feels traditional without looking rigid. Its flared endings and smooth modulation add a crafted, bookish character suited to considered, editorial communication.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a subtly expressive, flared finishing, creating a face that feels established and elegant while remaining friendly and text-forward.
In the sample text, the face maintains an even typographic color and stable spacing, producing a comfortable, familiar reading cadence. Numerals align stylistically with the text, showing the same serifed, slightly tapered finishing that keeps figures from looking overly mechanical.
