A serif text face with gently flared, bracketed terminals and a subtly calligraphic stroke model. Curves are broad and smoothly joined, with modest modulation and soft transitions into serifs rather than sharp, slab-like endings. Proportions feel traditional and slightly compact, with round counters and a steady rhythm across words; the lowercase shows restrained extenders and a tidy, controlled texture. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and a slightly handwritten flow that matches the letterforms.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a calm, traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively for magazine features, essays, and literary or cultural branding that benefits from a refined but friendly tone.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, suggesting traditional print culture and editorial seriousness without feeling austere. The flared endings and soft modulation add warmth and a human touch, giving it a quietly elegant, literary voice.
The design appears intended as a readable, traditional serif with flared terminals to introduce warmth and a lightly calligraphic character. Its moderated contrast and consistent rhythm aim for comfortable text setting while retaining a distinctly classic voice.
In the text sample, the face maintains a smooth, even color and holds together well across mixed-case passages. The flaring at stroke ends is visible throughout and gives verticals a subtle swelling, while rounded forms keep the texture approachable rather than rigid.
