A serif typeface with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that soften transitions into terminals. The letterforms show moderate stroke modulation, with sturdy verticals and rounded bowls that stay open and readable. Uppercase proportions feel broad and stable, while lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with a two-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a clearly differentiated i/j with diamond-like dots. Numerals are old-style in spirit with varied widths and a mix of round and angled features, maintaining consistent color and spacing across text sizes.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a classic serif texture and comfortable reading rhythm are desired. The broader uppercase and distinctive serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a traditional yet lively presence.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, with a quietly expressive, slightly calligraphic warmth. It reads as traditional rather than austere, giving text a cultured, editorial voice suited to long-form reading and polished display settings.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with flared, softly calligraphic detailing, creating a readable face that adds character without becoming decorative. It aims for versatility across text and display by balancing sturdy proportions with expressive terminals and moderate contrast.
Curves and joins are handled with smooth, slightly organic bracketing, and several terminals taper or flare rather than ending bluntly, which adds a subtle handcrafted feel. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright with a consistent, confident rhythm in running text.
