A serif typeface with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed terminals that give the letterforms a subtly calligraphic, carved quality. Strokes show moderate contrast with rounded transitions, and the curves feel slightly organic rather than rigidly geometric. Proportions are balanced and readable, with an open lowercase and a modestly sized x-height; ascenders are prominent and the lowercase “a” is double‑storey while the “g” is single‑storey. Numerals are traditional and sturdy, with smooth curves and restrained detailing that matches the text rhythm.
It performs well in editorial contexts such as book interiors, essays, magazines, and high-readability web or print typography where a warm serif voice is desired. The capitals and numerals also suit headings, pull quotes, and refined brand applications that benefit from a classic, slightly calligraphic presence.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, evoking traditional print typography with a gentle, human touch. It feels trustworthy and cultured rather than flashy, with a quiet elegance suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with flared, pen-like finishing to create a readable text face that feels traditional yet personable. The goal seems to be an even, comfortable text color with enough distinctive stroke shaping to add character without sacrificing clarity.
The flared endings and tapered joins create a lively texture at text sizes, while the capitals remain formal and steady for titling. The italic is not shown, and the visible roman maintains consistent spacing and even color across the sample paragraph.
