A traditional serif with subtly flared, bracketed endings and gently tapered strokes that broaden into the terminals. The capitals show balanced proportions and open, rounded bowls, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that stays restrained and even. Lowercase forms are readable and steady, with a two-storey “g,” compact apertures, and clear differentiation between similar shapes; numerals sit cleanly with understated curves and angled joins. Overall spacing and rhythm feel measured, producing an even text color in the paragraph sample.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and identity systems that want a classic voice with a hint of handcrafted warmth.
The tone is classical and bookish, conveying a quiet authority associated with literary and editorial typography. Its restrained detailing reads as refined rather than showy, giving it a mature, dependable presence.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional old-style readability with gently flared terminals that add character and softness. It prioritizes an even typographic rhythm for text while keeping enough distinctive detail to hold up in larger, display settings.
The flare at stroke endings adds warmth compared to sharper, purely hairline serifs, while maintaining crisp edges in display sizes. In text, the consistent proportions and open counters help keep lines calm and legible without feeling mechanical.
