This typeface is a serif design with subtly flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that broaden from the stems rather than stopping abruptly. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic in their modulation, with moderate thick–thin transitions and soft joins that keep letterforms readable at text sizes. Proportions feel balanced and familiar: capitals are stately without being overly wide, and lowercase forms are round and open, with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a modestly curved “t.” Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and extenders, reinforcing a classical, text-oriented rhythm.
Well suited to book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady, classical texture is needed. It can also serve for literary or academic titles and pull quotes, especially when a refined serif voice with subtle personality is preferred over sharper transitional styles.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting printed books and editorial typography. The flared terminals add a quiet elegance and a hint of humanist warmth, avoiding a rigid or mechanical feel. It reads as composed and trustworthy, with a lightly formal presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable reading face with a traditional serif structure, enhanced by flared terminals to add warmth and craft. The use of oldstyle numerals and restrained contrast suggests an emphasis on comfortable, continuous text setting while maintaining an elevated, print-oriented character.
Distinctive details include the wedge-like treatment on diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) and the softly swelling terminals on many strokes, which give words a gentle, organic texture. Counters in letters like C, G, e, and o stay open, helping maintain clarity in paragraphs. The sample text shows even color and consistent spacing that supports comfortable continuous reading.
