A classic text serif with moderate proportions and smooth, bracketed serifs that blend into the stems. Strokes show gentle tapering and subtle flare at terminals, giving counters and joins a softly calligraphic, carved feel rather than sharp mechanical endings. Curves are round and steady, with crisp inner shaping and a consistent baseline rhythm; capitals are dignified and fairly wide, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation and open forms for reading. Numerals are old-style in feel, with varied widths and graceful curves that sit comfortably alongside the text.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a calm, familiar texture is desirable. It can also support formal communications and literary or heritage-leaning branding in headlines and subheads, especially when paired with clean margins and generous leading.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking book typography and editorial polish. Its softened terminals and restrained detailing add warmth and approachability without losing a formal, scholarly character.
The font appears designed to deliver dependable readability with a traditional serif voice, while adding a subtle handcrafted nuance through tapered terminals and softly flared stroke endings. The intention seems to be a versatile, print-friendly text face that feels established yet not overly rigid.
In the text sample, spacing appears even and measured, supporting long lines without looking tight. The design’s tapered terminals and gently flared stroke endings are most noticeable in letters with curved shoulders and in the numerals, which contribute to an organic, print-oriented texture.
