A serif typeface with gently flared, bracketed terminals and subtly modulated strokes that keep contrast restrained while still feeling drawn. Capitals are tall and stately with generous interior spaces, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm and clear differentiation between round and straight forms. Curves are smooth and open (notably in C, O, e, and c), and the serifs read as tapered wedges rather than blunt slabs, giving the outlines a slightly calligraphic finish. Numerals are proportionate and readable, matching the text tone with rounded bowls and tidy, tapered endings.
Well suited for editorial layouts, long-form reading, and print-forward typography where a classic serif texture is desired without heavy contrast. It can also serve in brand identities and headlines that benefit from a refined, traditional tone and crisp, flared finishing details.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a bookish, editorial voice that feels established rather than decorative. The flared terminals add warmth and a mild humanist touch, keeping the impression refined and approachable rather than austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a timeless serif reading experience with added character from flared, tapering stroke endings. It balances traditional proportions and open forms with a subtly drawn, human touch to stay legible while feeling distinctive.
In text, the design holds together with consistent spacing and a calm, even color, supporting comfortable paragraph setting. The italic is not shown; the visible style emphasizes clarity through open counters, restrained stroke modulation, and clean, tapering terminals.
