A readable serif with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that give the joins a soft, sculpted feel. Strokes show modest modulation rather than sharp contrast, with rounded transitions and sturdy, slightly tapered verticals. The letterforms favor open apertures and ample counters, keeping the rhythm even in text. Capitals are stately and relatively wide, while the lowercase keeps a steady, traditional cadence; figures are clear and comfortably proportioned for running use.
Well-suited to editorial design, long-form reading, and magazine typography where a traditional serif voice is desired. The sturdy forms and restrained detailing also work for headlines, pull quotes, and brand systems that need a refined, heritage-leaning tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a warm, quietly formal presence. Its flared details add a subtle, crafted character that feels more human than mechanical, lending text an editorial, literary atmosphere without becoming ornamental.
Likely intended as a versatile serif for text and display that combines classical proportions with gently flared detailing to add warmth and distinction while preserving readability.
Terminals and serifs have a subtly expanded finish that reads as carved rather than sharply cut, helping the face hold up at display sizes while remaining comfortable for extended reading. The sample text suggests stable spacing and a calm color on the page.
