A serif text face with gently flared, bracketed terminals and softly modeled strokes. The letterforms keep a steady, readable rhythm with moderate proportions and a slightly calligraphic feel, where curves transition smoothly into stems rather than ending in sharp, rectangular serifs. Round characters are open and even, while diagonals and joins show subtle swelling that gives the outlines a hand-shaped, oldstyle texture. Numerals follow the same calm, bookish construction with rounded bowls and understated terminals.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, magazines, and other editorial typography where a classic serif voice and comfortable reading rhythm are priorities. It can also support institutional or cultural branding—logos, mastheads, and headlines—when a refined, traditional presence is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a warm, literary character that feels at home in established editorial settings. Its flared endings and smooth stroke transitions add a humanist softness, lending an understated elegance rather than a sharp or mechanistic voice.
The design appears intended as a readable, classic serif for continuous text, using flared, bracketed terminals to introduce warmth and subtle calligraphic articulation without sacrificing clarity.
In text, the type maintains a clean color without looking sterile; the flared terminals create small accents that help word shapes resolve clearly. Capitals read dignified and stable, while lowercase forms keep a comfortable, continuous flow suited to longer passages.
