A text-oriented serif with softly flared, bracketed stroke endings and moderate stroke modulation. Curves are generous and slightly calligraphic in feel, with rounded joins and smooth, open counters that keep paragraphs readable. The capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows traditional oldstyle tendencies with flowing bowls, a two-storey “a,” and a gently angled “e” crossbar. Numerals align comfortably with the text color, using similar modulation and serif treatment for a cohesive, bookish rhythm.
Well-suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice and comfortable readability are priorities. It can also support headings and pull quotes when a refined, traditional tone is desired without the sharpness of higher-contrast modern serifs.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with a calm authority suited to long-form reading. Its gentle flaring and rounded shaping add warmth and approachability, avoiding a brittle or overly formal impression.
The design appears intended as a versatile, literature-friendly serif that balances classical proportions with subtle calligraphic flair. Its flared terminals and moderate contrast suggest a focus on warm, durable text color across paragraphs rather than display-only dramatics.
Diagonal strokes (notably in K, V, W, X, and y) show controlled tapering that reinforces the flared serif idea without becoming decorative. The sample text demonstrates an even typographic color and steady spacing that supports continuous reading.
