A refined serif with gently flared stroke endings and smoothly bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with crisp, tapered joins that suggest a subtle calligraphic influence rather than rigid geometry. Proportions feel traditional and balanced, with relatively narrow apertures and compact counters that keep words cohesive. Numerals are lining-style in feel, with clear, open forms and a slightly dignified rhythm that matches the letters.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for headlines and pull quotes, where the flared terminals can provide a distinctive, premium tone without sacrificing clarity. For branding, it fits institutions, publishing, and cultural or heritage-leaning identities.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking book typography and established editorial voices. Its flared terminals add a touch of warmth and humanist softness, while the clean outlines maintain a composed, authoritative presence. The result reads as traditional without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to offer a traditional serif foundation with a slightly more organic finish, using flared endings and modest contrast to add character while keeping the texture controlled for continuous reading.
At text sizes the face forms an even color with a steady baseline and consistent serif treatment, while larger sizes reveal the elegant flare and subtle stroke modulation. The italics are not shown; the upright roman carries most of the personality through terminals and bracketing rather than dramatic contrast.
