A serif text face with gently flared stems and bracketed serifs that give strokes a subtly sculpted, calligraphic feel. The contrast is moderate and consistent, with smooth transitions into tapered terminals and occasional sharp beak-like finishes on letters such as C, G, S, and a. Proportions are traditional and relatively narrow-to-average with generous sidebearings, producing an airy rhythm in text. Lowercase forms are classic and readable, with open counters, a two-storey a and g, and a slightly lively baseline presence from curved joins and sheared entry strokes.
It suits extended reading in books and editorial layouts where a comfortable, classic texture is needed. The crisp serifs and flared modeling also make it effective for refined headlines, literary titling, and identity work that benefits from a traditional, cultured personality.
The overall tone is refined and literary, balancing crispness with warmth. It suggests a quiet, cultured voice—formal enough for traditional settings, but not stiff—thanks to the flared stroke endings and softly modeled curves.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with added character from flared, calligraphic stroke endings. It aims for a calm, elegant texture in paragraphs while retaining enough sharpness and definition for display use.
Capitals feel stately and well-spaced, with a round O/Q and a Q that uses a restrained, elegant tail. Numerals are lining and blend well with the text color, leaning toward old-style detailing in their curves and terminals while remaining clear at reading sizes.
