A readable serif with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that give the outlines a subtly sculpted feel. Strokes stay relatively even, with modest modulation and smooth transitions into terminals; curves are round and open, producing generous counters in letters like C, G, O, and e. Uppercase forms are balanced and slightly wide with stable, classical proportions, while lowercase shows a compact, steady rhythm with clear joins and restrained terminals. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and a flowing, text-oriented construction.
Well-suited for extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even, comfortable texture is important. The refined flare and sturdy capitals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and understated branding that wants a traditional, literary voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a warm, composed presence that feels familiar rather than showy. Its flared detailing adds a quiet humanist character, suggesting traditional craft and editorial seriousness without becoming formal or ornate.
The design appears aimed at a text-first serif that stays highly readable while adding personality through flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs. It balances classical structure with gentle humanist shaping to create a dependable, versatile tone for editorial and publishing contexts.
The font maintains an even color in text, helped by open apertures and rounded bowls. Distinctive details include the flared, wedge-like finishing on many strokes and the softly shaped serif connections, which add texture at display sizes while remaining calm in paragraphs.
