This serif shows subtly calligraphic construction with gently flared terminals and smoothly bracketed serifs. Strokes move from moderate thick–thin contrast into widened endings, giving stems a slightly sculpted, tapered feel rather than blunt cuts. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned with clean, open interiors, while the lowercase keeps readable, traditional shapes; the two‑storey a and g, along with a gently curved r and balanced s, reinforce a bookish rhythm. Numerals appear lining and serifed, matching the text color and curvature of the letters.
It suits long-form reading such as books and essays, as well as editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The distinctive flaring at terminals also helps it stand out in headlines, pull quotes, and section openers while maintaining a cohesive text companion.
The overall tone is classical and composed, with a literary, editorial sensibility. The flared endings add a hint of warmth and craft, keeping the font from feeling overly mechanical while still reading as formal and established.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif proportions with flared, calligraphic finishing to create a refined yet approachable text face. It aims for dependable readability and a cultured voice, with just enough shape character to feel designed rather than generic.
In text, the spacing and stroke modulation produce a steady, even typographic color, and the flared terminals add subtle emphasis at word shapes without becoming decorative. The design feels comfortable at reading sizes while still carrying enough character for display lines and titles.
