A serif typeface with gently flared, wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed joins that give strokes a subtly sculpted, calligraphic finish. Proportions are fairly classical with a moderate x-height, round bowls, and open apertures that keep forms readable. Contrast is noticeable but not sharp; thick and thin transitions feel smooth and organic rather than strictly rational. The lowercase shows lively details (notably in a, e, g, and t), while the uppercase maintains steady, upright structure with confident, slightly tapered stems.
Well suited for book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired without a brittle, high-contrast look. It can also serve effectively in magazine layouts, cultural branding, and headings that benefit from a warm, crafted serif texture.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a warm, humanist undercurrent. Its flared endings and rounded shaping add a subtle sense of craft and softness, making it feel more inviting than a strictly formal book face while still reading as refined and established.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif structure with flared, gently calligraphic terminals to create a readable, characterful text face. The goal seems to be a balance of refinement and warmth, delivering a composed page color with subtly expressive details.
In text, the rhythm is even and calm, with moderate modulation and clear internal space supporting comfortable reading at larger paragraph sizes. Numerals appear proportional and align stylistically with the text, sharing the same flared stroke behavior and rounded geometry.
