This typeface presents as an oldstyle-inspired serif with gently flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs that give strokes a tapered, calligraphic finish. The contrast is moderate, with smooth transitions into hairlines and a steady, even rhythm across text. Proportions lean traditional: capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase shows compact vertical proportions and rounded, open counters. Curves are clean and controlled, and the numerals follow the same restrained, bookish construction with clear differentiation and balanced spacing.
It works well for book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired, and it can also support refined display use such as headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials like programs or invitations.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a quiet refinement suited to editorial settings. Its flared endings and measured contrast convey a sense of tradition and formality without feeling ornate or theatrical.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical, text-oriented serif forms with flared stroke endings to add warmth and readability, aiming for a timeless page texture that stays elegant in both paragraph and display sizes.
In text, the design keeps a composed color on the page, with terminals that subtly broaden to add warmth and movement. The lowercase includes a distinctive, slightly calligraphic energy in letters with curved tails and descenders, helping longer passages feel less rigid while remaining crisp.
