A text-oriented serif with softly flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs that broaden out from the stems. The outlines show moderate contrast with gently tapered joins and a slightly calligraphic feel, producing a lively rhythm without looking decorative. Uppercase forms are sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase has open counters, clear bowls, and readable apertures; the two-story a and g reinforce a conventional text voice. Numerals are proportionate and clear, with rounded forms and modest detailing that keeps them comfortable in paragraphs.
Well suited to book and long-form reading, editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a traditional serif with a warmer texture is desired. It can also work for headings and pull quotes when a classic voice is needed without the stiffness of more formal oldstyle models.
The overall tone feels literary and composed, with a warm, humanist undercurrent from the flaring and tapered terminals. It reads as classic and trustworthy rather than strict or clinical, giving long text a subtly expressive, crafted character.
The design appears intended to deliver comfortable readability with a subtly crafted feel, using flared terminals and moderate modulation to add personality while maintaining a familiar, text-centric structure.
The serif treatment is consistent across the set, with wedge-like terminals that add texture at display sizes yet remain restrained in continuous text. The shapes avoid sharp, high-contrast drama; instead they rely on gentle modulation and broad curves for clarity and a steady page color.
