A serif typeface with subtly flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that give the letters a gently calligraphic, carved feel. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions, and the overall drawing favors broad, open counters and clear interior space. Uppercase forms are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward rhythm with a two-storey “a,” single-storey “g,” and compact, tidy joins. Numerals are sturdy and readable, with balanced widths and restrained detailing that stays consistent across the set.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired with a touch of warmth. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that want a classic, trustworthy impression without high ornamentation.
The overall tone feels bookish and composed, combining traditional serif manners with a slightly warmer, more human touch from the flared terminals. It suggests editorial seriousness without becoming overly ornate, making it feel refined, credible, and quietly expressive.
The design appears intended to bridge conventional serif readability with gently expressive, flared details that add personality and a crafted finish. It aims for a versatile “literary” voice that can hold up in paragraph settings while still providing tasteful distinction in larger sizes.
Curves are smooth and well-controlled, and terminals often finish with a slight wedge or flare rather than a blunt cutoff, which helps text look lively at larger sizes. The sample paragraph shows stable color and comfortable spacing, supporting continuous reading while still offering enough character for display lines.
