A serif text face with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that soften joins into the stems. Strokes show a subtle, calligraphic modulation, with tapered terminals on forms like C, S, and a, and slightly wedge-like feet on verticals. Proportions are balanced and bookish, with rounded bowls, moderate apertures, and an italic-free, steady upright rhythm. The lowercase shows traditional details such as a two-storey g and a compact, slightly hooked f, while capitals remain dignified and evenly weighted for continuous text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and comfortable texture are needed. It also works for formal headings, cultural branding, and printed collateral that benefits from a traditional, polished feel without heavy ornament.
The overall tone is classical and literary, projecting refinement without feeling brittle. Its flared finishing and mild modulation add warmth and a humanist, print-like character that reads as traditional and trustworthy.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on an oldstyle text serif, using flared terminals and moderated modulation to deliver a readable, premium tone across both display sizes and running copy.
Figures are lining and serifed, with open counters and consistent spacing that supports paragraph setting. The design favors smooth curves and restrained details over sharp contrast, helping maintain a calm, continuous texture on the page.
