A refined serif with gently flared stems and softly bracketed serifs that broaden into the terminals rather than ending abruptly. Stroke contrast is moderate, with smooth transitions and a slightly calligraphic flow, giving the outlines a lively but controlled rhythm. Capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase shows readable, traditional proportions with rounded bowls and clear apertures. Numerals appear oldstyle in spirit, with varied widths and subtle curves that keep the texture even in running text.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazines, essays, and book interiors—where a traditional serif texture and confident readability are desired. It also fits branding and packaging that aim for a classic, cultivated voice, especially when set in display sizes for headlines or short passages.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, balancing tradition with a warm, humanist softness. Its flared endings and moderate contrast add an elegant, slightly historical feel without becoming overly formal or ornamental.
The design appears intended to evoke a traditional serif voice with a more organic finish, using flared terminals and moderate contrast to create warmth, movement, and a polished reading rhythm. It aims to feel established and literary while remaining versatile for contemporary editorial use.
Spacing and letterfit read as comfortable and even in the paragraph sample, producing a smooth text color at larger sizes. Diagonals and curved joins are gently modeled, and terminals tend to taper and flare in a consistent way, reinforcing a cohesive, crafted texture across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
