A serif text face with gently tapered stems and subtly flared stroke endings that give the letterforms a warm, calligraphic feel. Serifs are bracketed and not overly long, with wedge-like terminals on several forms, producing clean entry/exit strokes rather than blunt cuts. Rounds are smooth and slightly narrowed, counters are open, and joins stay crisp, creating an even rhythm in paragraphs. Capitals feel stately and balanced, while lowercase shows traditional proportions with clear differentiation in forms like a, g, and t; numerals align with the same restrained, serifed construction.
Works well for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support identity systems, invitations, and cultural or academic materials that benefit from a refined, trustworthy texture.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting tradition and credibility without looking overly ornate. Its flared strokes add a faint handmade character that reads as cultured and refined, suitable for serious or editorial voices.
Likely designed to deliver a readable, traditional serif color with a subtle flared, calligraphic influence—aiming for elegance and warmth while maintaining disciplined text rhythm.
Diagonal strokes (such as in V, W, X, and y) show controlled modulation and tapered terminals that keep heavy black spots in check. The ampersand and punctuation match the same restrained, old-style sensibility, supporting continuous reading at text sizes.
