This typeface presents a serifed, flared construction with gently swelling stroke endings rather than crisp bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, with open counters and a clean, even rhythm across text. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly wide in feel, while the lowercase shows a classic book-face structure with a two-storey “g” and “a,” a gently tapered “t,” and softly cupped entry/exit strokes that keep the texture lively without becoming busy. Numerals appear lining with clear, traditional proportions and consistent curvature.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a refined, comfortable text color is desired. The elegant capitals also make it a strong choice for chapter titles, pull quotes, and literary or boutique branding, especially where a subtle calligraphic flavor can add distinction.
The overall tone is cultured and composed, with a distinctly literary, editorial feel. Its flared endings and moderated contrast add a subtle handwritten warmth, giving it an elegant presence without reading as ornate or nostalgic.
The design appears intended to bridge classical serif readability with a more fluid, pen-influenced finish, using flared terminals to provide character and clarity. It aims for a dignified, timeless voice that remains approachable in continuous text.
The font maintains a smooth, continuous stroke flow that helps paragraphs look cohesive, while the flared terminals add definition at small sizes. Capitals have a poised, inscriptional quality that pairs well with the softer, more text-oriented lowercase.
