This is an upright serif with subtly flared terminals and compact, wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than bracketed. Strokes show moderate modulation with gently swelling stems and tapered joins, producing a rhythmic, calligraphy-adjacent texture in text. Proportions are balanced and readable, with round forms kept open and counters generous; diagonals and curved strokes end in softly sharpened points that add energy without becoming sharp or brittle.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and essays, where its steady rhythm and open counters can hold up over paragraphs. It can also work effectively for cultural or academic branding, museum or theater materials, and elegant packaging where a traditional but personable serif is desired. In display sizes, the flared terminals and tapered details give headlines a lively, crafted presence.
The font conveys a poised, bookish tone with a slightly idiosyncratic, handcrafted warmth. Its crisp detailing and lively modulation feel traditional without being overly formal, giving it a personable, literary character.
The design appears intended to deliver comfortable long-form readability while adding a distinctive, slightly organic flavor through flared endings and moderate stroke modulation. It aims for a classic serif voice with enough character in terminals and curvature to stand out in headings and pull quotes without sacrificing clarity.
The uppercase shows confident, slightly sculpted silhouettes (notably in diagonals and curved letters), while the lowercase maintains a consistent text color with gently animated terminals. Numerals read clearly with a traditional feel and modest modulation consistent with the letterforms.
