A refined serif with softly flared terminals and subtly bracketed serifs that give the strokes a gentle, tapered finish rather than abrupt cuts. The letterforms show moderate modulation and smooth curves, with rounded bowls and carefully controlled joins that keep the texture even in continuous reading. Proportions feel balanced and traditionally book-oriented, with sturdy capitals, open counters, and a calm, consistent rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine features, where its steady rhythm and soft terminals support comfortable text texture. It can also work effectively for refined headings, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural materials that benefit from a traditional serif voice without excessive ornament.
The overall tone reads as traditional and editorial, projecting credibility and quiet sophistication. Its soft flare and restrained sharpness lend a human, slightly calligraphic warmth without becoming decorative or historical pastiche. The result is a dependable, literary voice suited to serious, polished communication.
Likely designed to provide a contemporary, readable serif with a subtly flared, humanist finish—combining familiar book typography cues with softened terminals for a warmer, more approachable presence. The consistent detailing suggests an emphasis on dependable text setting while retaining enough character for editorial display.

Numerals appear classic and text-friendly, with clear differentiation and a coherent serif treatment that matches the letters. The spacing and stroke endings contribute to a smooth line color in the sample paragraphs, avoiding harsh sparkle.
