A readable serif with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that feel drawn rather than machined. Strokes stay fairly even, with subtle modulation and rounded joins that keep forms smooth. Proportions are classical and balanced: capitals are open and calm, while lowercase shows a friendly rhythm with a two-storey “a” and “g,” round counters, and modestly tapered terminals. Curves (notably in C, S, and O) are generous and consistent, and the figures sit comfortably with clear shapes and understated detailing.
Works well for long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine features where a comfortable serif texture is desired. It also suits branding and packaging that needs a classic, cultured voice, and performs nicely for headings and pull quotes where the flared terminals can add character.
The overall tone is literary and composed, suggesting tradition without feeling overly formal. Its warm flare and measured rhythm bring a human touch suited to editorial and cultural contexts, conveying credibility and quiet elegance.
Likely designed to combine traditional serif readability with a subtly handcrafted, flared finish, creating a dependable text face that also carries personality in display settings.
Distinctive details include the flared, almost chiseled-looking terminals and the slightly calligraphic inflection in diagonals and curves, which adds texture at larger sizes. The spacing appears even and stable in continuous text, supporting a steady reading flow.
