A serif typeface with subtly flared, bracketed serifs and low contrast strokes that stay sturdy in text. The proportions feel classic, with a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle rhythm: rounded forms are full and open, while stems end in tapered, wedge-like terminals rather than abrupt slabs. Curves are smooth and continuous, and the overall spacing reads even, with generous counters and clear interior shapes across both upper- and lowercase.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady texture and classic serif voice are desirable. It can also serve comfortably in institutional communications, reports, and packaging or labeling that benefits from a traditional, trustworthy tone.
The tone is traditional and literary, projecting calm authority and familiarity. Its flared endings and softly modeled shapes add warmth and a hint of historical character without becoming ornate, making it feel dependable and composed.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif reading experience with a contemporary steadiness—using flared, bracketed terminals to provide warmth and heritage while maintaining clean, reliable performance in text.
Uppercase forms are confident and broad-shouldered, and the lowercase maintains clarity with distinct, readable silhouettes. Numerals appear text-friendly with consistent weight and sturdy forms that match the serif vocabulary.
