A serif text face with subtly flared stems and softly bracketed serifs that read as tapered, slightly calligraphic endings rather than blunt terminals. Strokes show a gentle contrast with rounded joins and smooth curves, giving counters a calm, open feel. Proportions are traditional and moderately compact in the capitals, while the lowercase has clear differentiation and steady rhythm; curved letters (C, G, O, Q) feel generous, and diagonals (V, W, Y) are crisp without becoming sharp. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and flowing forms, matching the text color and cadence of the lowercase.
Well suited to book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice and consistent text color are priorities. It can also support brand systems and packaging that want a traditional, cultivated tone without appearing overly formal.
The overall tone is literary and composed, with a warm, humanist refinement that suits long-form reading. Its flared, slightly pen-informed detailing adds personality without becoming decorative, creating an impression of understated elegance and authority.
The design appears intended to bridge classic serif conventions with a more organic, flared finish, aiming for readability and a cultured voice in continuous text while retaining enough character for headings and pull quotes.
The texture in paragraph setting looks even and smooth, with clear letter separation and a restrained presence of detailing. Terminals and serifs tend to taper, which keeps the face lively at display sizes while remaining comfortable in text.
