A slanted serif with subtly flared stems and gently bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than sharply cut. The stroke contrast is moderate, with smooth transitions and tapered joins that keep the texture lively without becoming brittle. Lowercase forms show a tall x-height and open apertures, while ascenders and descenders are relatively long, giving lines a supple rhythm. Overall spacing and sidebearings create an even, readable color, with slight organic variation in curves and terminals that adds softness.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as book interiors and essays, where its tall lowercase and open counters help maintain clarity. It also works for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding or packaging that benefits from a classic, humanist voice.
The tone reads literary and traditional, with a warm, slightly calligraphic manner. It feels cultured and human rather than strictly mechanical, lending a sense of elegance suited to editorial and book contexts.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with a gentle italic motion and flared finishing, producing an inviting, text-friendly face that still carries a distinctive, crafted character.
Capitals appear stately and lightly tapered, pairing well with the more fluid lowercase. Numerals follow the same slanted, serifed construction, maintaining consistency for text and display settings where figures are frequent.
