A serif face with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs that create a soft, sculpted rhythm. Strokes show modest modulation, with rounded joins and tapered terminals that feel more calligraphic than geometric. The uppercase has steady, classical proportions, while the lowercase features open apertures and a slightly lively, hand-influenced texture. Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with curved strokes and varied silhouettes that keep the line from looking rigid.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and other long-form reading contexts where a calm, traditional serif texture is desirable. It can also serve branding and packaging that benefit from a classic, personable tone without looking overly formal.
The overall tone is bookish and traditional, with a warm, literary character rather than a crisp, modern one. Its flared details and moderate contrast give it a quietly refined presence that reads as cultured and familiar.
The design appears aimed at delivering a readable, traditional serif voice enriched by flared terminals and gentle modulation, balancing familiarity with a slightly handcrafted, humanist nuance.
Curves are generous and smoothly drawn, and the spacing feels comfortable in text, producing an even gray value with a subtle organic movement. Distinctive flared terminals on letters like C, E, F, S, and the lowercase a/e help it stand apart from more orthodox text serifs.
