An oldstyle serif with gently flared strokes and soft, bracketed serif transitions that give the letterforms a subtly calligraphic build. Contrast is moderate with smooth modulation through curves, and the overall rhythm feels even and text-oriented rather than display-tight. Uppercase forms are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows open apertures and rounded bowls with a comfortable, traditional texture. Numerals follow the same serifed, slightly modulated construction, reading clearly while maintaining the face’s classical tone.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desirable. The distinctive flared finishing also makes it appropriate for tasteful branding, packaging, and headings that need a classic voice without leaning into high-contrast modernity.
The font conveys a classic, bookish sensibility—measured, trustworthy, and quietly elegant. Its flared detailing adds warmth and a faint handwritten heritage, keeping the tone refined without feeling brittle or overly sharp.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, historically grounded reading serif with added personality through flared stroke endings and restrained modulation. It balances readability and tradition with enough shaping detail to remain recognizable in titles and identity work.
Curves terminate with gentle swelling rather than abrupt slab-like endings, and many joins are softened by subtle bracketing, which helps the face hold together in continuous text. The sample paragraph shows a consistent, calm color with good separation between letters, supporting longer reading lines.
