A serif text face with gently flared, bracketed endings and a clear, calligraphic modulation through curves and joins. Strokes are clean and tapered rather than blunt, with rounded transitions that keep the texture smooth in paragraphs. Proportions lean slightly narrow with tall capitals and open counters; the lowercase shows a readable rhythm with a two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and a modestly angled stress in round letters. Numerals appear lining and balanced, with classic shapes and moderate curvature that matches the letterforms.
Well-suited to editorial design and book typography where a refined serif texture is needed for comfortable reading. It can also support upscale branding, cultural materials, and invitations, especially when paired with generous spacing and careful hierarchy between display headings and text.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, projecting a traditional, cultivated feel without looking overly formal. Its quiet contrast and softened terminals give it a humane, literary character suited to longer reading while still feeling polished for display use.
The design appears intended to provide a classic serif reading experience with subtly flared terminals that add warmth and individuality. It balances tradition and clarity, aiming for an even, elegant page color that remains versatile across text and headline settings.
Diagonal and curved forms (like V/W, S, and the round letters) keep a consistent taper and smooth bracketing, helping the font maintain even color across mixed-case text. The lowercase includes distinct descenders and clear differentiation between similar forms, supporting legibility at typical text sizes.
