A serif text face with subtly flared stroke terminals and gently bracketed serifs that soften joins and corners. The outlines show moderate stroke modulation with rounded transitions, giving stems and diagonals a slightly calligraphic feel without becoming decorative. Proportions are balanced and readable, with open counters and generally generous spacing that keeps paragraphs even. Numerals appear oldstyle in color and posture, with a mix of round and tapered forms that match the letter rhythm.
Works well for body copy in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a comfortable, classic serif texture is needed. It can also support headlines and pull quotes when a refined, traditional tone is desired without excessive ornament.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a calm, cultivated texture suited to long-form reading. The flared endings and soft bracketing add warmth and a humanist touch, suggesting an editorial voice rather than a stark, technical one.
Likely intended as a readable serif for continuous text, combining a traditional structure with flared, gently calligraphic finishing to create warmth and an even typographic color on the page.
Curves are smooth and slightly elastic, while terminals tend to taper and flare rather than end bluntly, which helps maintain a continuous reading flow. The design stays restrained and consistent across uppercase and lowercase, producing a steady, page-like gray value in text.
