A crisp serif with subtly flared stroke endings and smooth, bracketed transitions into the stems. The contrast is moderate and steady, with gently tapered horizontals and clean terminals that feel more drawn than engineered. Proportions lean toward generous, open capitals and a slightly narrower lowercase with clear counters; round forms stay smooth and restrained, while joins and diagonals remain sharp. The overall rhythm is even and legible, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that keeps the texture lively without becoming ornamental.
Well suited to editorial typography—books, long-form reading, and magazine layouts—where its refined texture and steady rhythm hold up across paragraphs. It can also serve for understated branding, cultural institutions, and printed materials that benefit from a traditional, cultivated voice.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with a quiet elegance. Its flared finishing and moderate modulation add warmth and a hint of old-style craft, making text feel established and trustworthy rather than stark or purely modern.
The design appears intended to bridge classical serif conventions with a slightly flared, hand-influenced finish, aiming for readability and poise while avoiding rigid, purely transitional sharpness. It prioritizes a composed page color and a dependable tone for both display headings and running text.
Figures appear lining and proportionally varied, with simple, readable shapes that sit comfortably alongside the letters. The ampersand and punctuation follow the same restrained, literary character, keeping the voice consistent across text and display sizes.
