A text-oriented serif with slender proportions, moderately tight spacing, and a clear oldstyle influence in its curves. Strokes show moderate contrast with gently tapered, flared terminals and subtly bracketed serifs that keep the rhythm smooth rather than sharp. The lowercase is compact and steady, with a two-storey “a,” a traditional “g,” and diagonals that remain controlled and crisp. Numerals follow the same restrained, slightly calligraphic logic, with delicate curves and tapered ends that feel consistent with the letterforms.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve for headlines and titling that benefit from a refined, classic presence, especially in cultural, literary, or heritage-leaning branding.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting tradition and authority without feeling overly ornate. Its flared endings and measured contrast add a quiet elegance that reads as polished and editorial.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a traditional text serif, aiming for comfortable readability while adding distinction through gently flared terminals and controlled contrast. It prioritizes a calm, cultivated typographic color that remains versatile across body text and display sizes.
In continuous text the font maintains an even color and stable baseline, while the narrow set and tapered terminals create a subtle vertical emphasis. Capital forms feel stately and composed, pairing well with the more organic lowercase for a balanced typographic voice.
