A serif text face with gently flared terminals and subtly bracketed serifs that broaden out from the stems, giving strokes a tapered, slightly calligraphic finish. Curves are round and open with smooth joins, and the overall rhythm feels even and measured rather than tightly constructed. Contrast is noticeable but controlled, with a steady baseline presence and clear differentiation between straight stems and curved bowls. The lowercase shows humanist shaping—single-storey a and g, a modest ear on g, and soft shoulders—while the numerals are oldstyle-like in feel, mixing heights and including generous, rounded counters.
It is well suited to book interiors, editorial layouts, and other text-forward settings where a refined serif texture is desired. The distinctive flared terminals can also support tasteful headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, especially in cultural, literary, or heritage-leaning design contexts.
The tone is quietly elegant and literary, combining traditional serif credibility with a friendly, organic softness. The flared endings add a crafted, slightly historical flavor without becoming ornate, producing a calm, cultured voice suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended to offer a readable, classic serif voice with a handcrafted edge, using flared terminals and gentle bracketing to add personality while maintaining a steady, text-friendly rhythm.
Counters remain fairly open in both uppercase and lowercase, helping the font stay legible as text despite its distinctive tapered finishing. Capitals read stately and composed, while the lowercase carries more warmth through rounded forms and lightly asymmetric details, creating a balanced, humane texture.
