A serif typeface with subtly flared stroke endings and small wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than slabby. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions, and many joins have gentle bracketing that softens the texture. Proportions are balanced and readable, with open apertures and rounded bowls; the lowercase shows a slightly lively rhythm, with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a softly curved “y” descender. Numerals are clear and fairly traditional in construction, matching the serif and contrast behavior of the letters.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books, editorial layouts, and essays where a classic serif voice and comfortable rhythm are priorities. It can also work effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and branding systems that want a traditional foundation with subtle warmth.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, combining a traditional serif presence with a warmer, more human touch from the flared terminals. It reads as dependable and cultivated rather than sharp or trendy, lending an understated elegance suitable for long-form typography and institutional branding.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif conventions with flared, calligraphy-informed terminals to create a refined yet approachable text face. Its moderate contrast and open forms suggest a focus on sustained readability while maintaining a distinctive, slightly sculpted character.
Capitals are clean and stately with restrained ornament, while the lowercase carries most of the personality through its tapered terminals and slightly calligraphic movement. The font maintains an even color in text, with enough contrast to feel crisp without becoming delicate at typical reading sizes.
