A text-oriented serif with flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that read as calligraphic rather than mechanical. Curves are generously rounded and the joins feel organic, with moderate modulation and tapered terminals that add warmth. Proportions are traditional and steady, with clear counters and a balanced rhythm; uppercase forms feel dignified, while lowercase shows gently irregular, humanist detailing (notably in the ear and bowls) that keeps paragraphs lively without becoming decorative. Numerals follow the same old-style, gently modulated logic, maintaining a consistent color in running text.
Well suited to long-form body text in books and editorial layouts, where its moderate modulation and open counters support comfortable reading. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and section titles that benefit from a classic, refined tone without looking overly formal.
The overall tone is literary and composed, projecting a quiet confidence associated with classic book typography. Its flared ends and soft modulation lend a tactile, slightly handwritten warmth, making the voice feel approachable rather than austere. In display sizes it reads elegant and traditional; in text it feels familiar and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional serif readability with a warmer, more human presence. By using flared endings and gentle tapering instead of sharp, rigid terminals, it aims to provide a polished literary voice that remains friendly and contemporary in editorial settings.
The design emphasizes smooth, continuous curves and tapered finishing strokes, which gives letters a subtly sculpted look at larger sizes. Spacing appears even and paragraph color stays cohesive in the sample, suggesting it is intended to hold up in sustained reading while still offering some personality in headings.
