This serif shows gently flared stems and softened, wedge-like stroke endings that read as bracketed serifs rather than hard slabs. Letterforms are broadly classical with moderate contrast, open bowls, and steady proportions that keep text color even in paragraphs. Curves are smooth and slightly generous, while joins and terminals stay clean and restrained, giving the design a calm, traditional rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
It performs well for body copy in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and steady texture are desired. The refined caps and disciplined punctuation also make it a strong choice for headings, pull quotes, and brand systems that want a classic, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a formal, literary presence that feels suited to established institutions and long-standing editorial contexts. Its flared detailing adds a subtle warmth and craft character without becoming decorative or calligraphic.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a traditional serif, using subtle flaring and moderated contrast to preserve readability while adding a distinctive, slightly crafted finish to terminals and serifs.
Capitals feel stately and well-balanced, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and legibility at text sizes. Numerals are sturdy and readable, matching the serifed construction and maintaining consistent weight and spacing alongside the letters.
