A serif text face with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that create a soft, calligraphic rhythm. The letterforms show moderate modulation, with sturdy verticals and smoothly tapered joins, and a relatively compact, even texture in running text. Counters are open and rounded, while terminals and serifs feel slightly splayed rather than sharply cut, giving strokes an organic finish. Numerals and capitals share the same steady, bookish color, with a restrained, confident presence in display sizes.
Well suited to book and magazine typography, including essays, features, and other longform editorial work where a calm, traditional texture is desirable. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a refined serif voice with a touch of warmth.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting editorial seriousness without feeling cold. Its flared details add warmth and a subtle hand-made character, producing a quietly elegant, literary voice suited to classic typography.
Likely designed to provide a dependable serif for reading and editorial hierarchy, distinguished by subtly flared endings that soften the silhouette. The aim appears to balance classical proportions with a slightly more organic, humanist finish for comfortable, polished typography.
The design reads best when allowed some size, where the flaring and bracket transitions are clear and contribute to a cohesive texture. In large settings it has a stately headline quality, while in paragraphs it maintains a stable, readable cadence.
