A serif typeface with gently flared, bracketed terminals and a subtly calligraphic modulation. Strokes show moderate contrast and a slightly soft, organic edge, with serifs that feel more tapered and swelling than strictly hairline. Proportions are relatively compact and text-fit oriented, with slightly varied glyph widths and an even, readable rhythm. The lowercase shows traditional forms—most notably a two-storey “g” and a modestly angled stress—while capitals are sturdy and classical with crisp joins and restrained ornament.
Well-suited to editorial and long-form settings such as books, essays, and magazine text where a classical serif texture is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional, slightly handcrafted voice, and works effectively for headlines when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is bookish and traditional, with a warm, humanist flavor rather than a rigid, mechanical feel. It suggests heritage printing and editorial typography—confident and familiar, with just enough movement in the terminals to feel lively and crafted.
The design appears intended to balance classical serif familiarity with a more fluid, flared-terminal finish, creating a readable text face that carries historical warmth and a subtly calligraphic personality.
Details like the angled and flared stroke endings, the shaped cross-strokes, and the slightly asymmetric curves keep the texture from becoming monotonous in longer passages. Numerals are clear and conventional, matching the text face’s serifed, oldstyle character.
