A serif text face with gently flared stroke terminals and subtly bracketed serifs that give the forms a carved, calligraphic finish. Curves are smooth and slightly elliptical, with tapered joins and softened corners that keep the texture lively without becoming decorative. Capitals feel stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows clear differentiation (notably a two-storey a and a looped g), open apertures, and a calm, readable rhythm. Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel with rounded shapes and modest variation in widths, matching the letterforms’ organic cadence.
Well-suited to books, essays, and editorial layouts where an inviting serif texture is important over long passages. It can also support cultural branding, packaging, and headings that want a traditional voice with a gently distinctive, flared finish.
The overall tone is bookish and cultured, with a human warmth that reads as traditional rather than formal or austere. The flared endings and soft transitions lend a subtle handcrafted character, suggesting heritage, credibility, and quiet elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver comfortable text readability while adding a distinctive, classical signature through flared terminals and restrained, humanist shaping. It aims to bridge conventional book-serifs with a slightly more artisanal, engraved impression.
Diagonal letters like V, W, X, and Y show confident, tapering strokes that avoid harsh points, helping large sizes feel graceful. The italic is not shown; all samples presented read as upright roman with consistent detailing across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
