This serif has tapered, slightly flared stroke endings and small bracketed serifs that give the outlines a subtly calligraphic feel. Strokes show moderate contrast with gently swelling verticals and sharper, knife-like terminals in letters such as C, S, and a. Counters are open and proportions are compact, with a relatively narrow set and tight, efficient letterforms. The lowercase includes a single-storey a and g, a compact e, and a slightly right-leaning, energetic rhythm created by asymmetric curves and pointed joins.
It suits editorial typography where a warm, traditional serif is desired—book interiors, long-form articles, and magazine layouts—while its pointed terminals also support chapter headings and literary or cultural titles. It can work well in packaging and branding that wants a classic voice with a slightly idiosyncratic edge.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a touch of liveliness from the flared terminals and subtly hand-influenced curves. It feels traditional without being rigid, balancing formality with a slightly expressive, storybook character.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, traditionally rooted serif with added character from flared terminals and gently calligraphic modulation. Its compact proportions and consistent rhythm suggest a focus on economical setting and a cohesive text color, while preserving distinctive, memorable details in key shapes.
Uppercase forms read cleanly at display sizes, with distinctive, tapered wedges on diagonals and a prominent, elegant Q tail. Numerals are old-style in spirit (with varied shapes and lively terminals) and blend naturally with the text color rather than standing apart.
