This typeface is a serif with subtly flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs, giving the forms a soft, calligraphic finish rather than crisp, rectangular terminals. Strokes show moderate modulation with smooth transitions through curves, and the overall texture reads even and calm in running text. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and balanced, with open counters and slightly rounded joins; lowercase features include a two-storey “g” and “a,” and a moderate x-height that supports readability. Numerals appear lining and fairly open, matching the text color and stroke rhythm of the letters.
It suits long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a comfortable serif texture is desired. It can also work well for refined brand identities, cultural institutions, and packaging that benefits from a traditional, quietly distinctive serif voice.
The tone is bookish and composed, with a warm, humanist undercurrent. The flared terminals and gentle modulation add a quiet elegance that feels established and trustworthy rather than trendy or sharp.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, traditional serif experience with added warmth and individuality through flared terminals and moderate stroke modulation. It aims for a familiar literary feel while maintaining enough personality to stand out in display sizes and headings.
In the sample text, the font maintains consistent spacing and a steady baseline, producing a smooth, continuous gray value at larger paragraph sizes. Curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) remain round and controlled, while the flaring at stroke ends adds character without becoming decorative.
