A text-oriented serif with softly flared terminals and bracketed serifs that give strokes a subtly calligraphic, hand-set feel. Proportions are lively and slightly varied, with generous counters, a steady rhythm, and a comparatively tall lowercase that keeps paragraphs open and readable. Contrast is moderate, with smooth transitions into serifs and terminals rather than abrupt slab-like endings, and curves (notably in C, G, O, and e) feel round and controlled. The overall texture is even without looking rigid, balancing crisp verticals with gently tapered joins and finishing strokes.
Well suited to body copy in books and editorial layouts where an even, comfortable reading texture is important. It also works for cultured display uses—chapter titles, pull quotes, packaging, and identity systems—when a traditional serif voice with a warm, flared finish is desired.
The tone is classic and literary, suggesting printed books, editorial authority, and a measured elegance rather than overt modernity. Its flared endings add warmth and a subtle historical character, making it feel trustworthy and composed while still approachable in longer reading.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, print-classic reading experience while differentiating itself from sharper transitional serifs through flared terminals and a gently humanist rhythm. It aims for versatility across extended text and restrained display, emphasizing clarity, warmth, and typographic tradition.
Uppercase forms read formal and stable, while the lowercase brings most of the personality through rounded bowls and softly finished terminals. Numerals appear clear and traditional, matching the serifed construction and maintaining consistent color alongside the text.
