A text-oriented serif with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that soften transitions into stems. The letterforms show moderate contrast with slightly tapered joins and a calm, even rhythm across words. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and stable, while the lowercase has rounded bowls, open apertures, and subtly calligraphic movement in strokes like the italic-like ear/terminals. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and curved forms that blend smoothly with running text.
Well suited to editorial design, books, magazines, and other reading-heavy layouts where a refined but approachable serif is needed. It can also work for tasteful branding and headings when you want a traditional voice with a slightly organic finish.
The overall tone is literary and classic, with a quiet elegance that feels suited to long-form reading. Flared terminals add a warm, human touch, keeping the texture from feeling overly formal or mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a comfortable, classic reading experience while differentiating itself through flared terminals and gently calligraphic detailing. It balances traditional proportions with subtle expressive cues to create a distinctive, cultured texture in continuous text.
Word shapes remain clear at text sizes, with consistent spacing and a comfortable color on the page. Distinctive details—such as the curved tail on Q and the more expressive forms of j, y, and g—add personality without becoming decorative.
