A serif typeface with gently flared, bracketed terminals and low stroke contrast that gives the letters a soft, carved-in-ink feel. Proportions are steady and readable, with rounded bowls, open apertures, and smoothly transitioned joins that keep texture even in paragraphs. The uppercase is sturdy and slightly monumental, while the lowercase shows a humanist rhythm with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a modestly angled “e” cross-stroke. Numerals are sturdy and text-friendly, with clear shapes and restrained detailing that match the letterforms.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even text color and comfortable rhythm matter. It also works for headlines, pull quotes, and brand applications that want a classic serif voice with a softer, more approachable finish.
The overall tone is traditional and trustworthy with a warm, bookish character. Its flared endings add a subtle craft quality—less formal than sharp oldstyle serifs, but still distinctly classic and authoritative.
Likely intended as a versatile, text-forward serif that balances traditional structure with subtly flared terminals to add warmth and personality without sacrificing clarity.
Serifs and terminals tend to widen into the stroke rather than ending crisply, producing a smooth, slightly calligraphic cadence. The design avoids extreme contrast or sharp corners, which helps maintain a calm, consistent color in continuous reading.
