This typeface presents a serif construction with gently flared, tapering terminals and softly bracketed serifs that give strokes a subtly calligraphic swelling. Curves are generous and open, with rounded bowls and clear apertures, while verticals maintain an even, steady rhythm. The capitals feel stately and slightly wide in stance, paired with lowercase forms that balance readability with character; details like the two-storey “g” and the softly modeled joins add a traditional texture. Numerals follow the same humanist logic, with smooth curves and understated modulation rather than sharp geometric precision.
It performs well for long-form reading—book interiors, essays, and magazine typography—where a traditional serif color and open counters support comfortable scanning. At larger sizes it can also serve for refined headlines, pull quotes, and cultural or institutional branding that benefits from a classic, humanist serif voice.
Overall, the font conveys a literary, established tone—polished and trustworthy without feeling rigid. Its flared endings and moderated contrast introduce a warm, hand-informed voice that reads as cultured and slightly old-world, suited to editorial settings where personality should remain restrained.
The design appears intended to combine classic serif familiarity with a slightly hand-shaped, flared terminal treatment, aiming for an approachable, contemporary text face that still nods to traditional book typography.
Stroke endings consistently broaden into small flares, creating a lively edge at text sizes and a distinct silhouette at display sizes. The italic is not shown; the samples indicate an upright, text-forward design with careful spacing and comfortable word shapes.
