This serif shows gently flared, bracketed terminals that broaden at the stroke ends, producing a subtly calligraphic, stone-carved feel. Stroke contrast is moderate, with smooth transitions between thick and thin and an overall even color in text. Capitals are stately and slightly wide with crisp, tapered serifs; bowls are round and open, and the curves feel carefully modulated rather than rigidly geometric. The lowercase keeps a traditional rhythm with a two-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and rounded i/j dots; numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and extenders that add a bookish texture.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine articles where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve for headings and pull quotes that need a traditional, high-quality tone without extreme contrast.
The overall tone is composed and traditional, with a refined, scholarly voice. The flared endings add warmth and craft, keeping the style dignified rather than austere, making it feel comfortable in long-form reading while still suitable for prestige presentation.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with flared, calligraphic terminals to achieve a readable, cultivated text face. It aims for a traditional page color and steady rhythm while adding just enough character in the terminals and figures to feel crafted and timeless.
In the text sample, spacing reads balanced and consistent, and the moderate contrast remains stable across sizes, helping paragraphs hold a smooth texture. The variable-width oldstyle figures and the slightly lively terminals give running text a subtly classical, humanist cadence.
