A text-oriented serif with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs that soften the joins. Strokes show a moderate contrast with smooth, tapered transitions, and the curves are round and open, keeping counters clear at reading sizes. Proportions are balanced with a steady cap height, a moderate x-height, and slightly varying letter widths that give the line a natural rhythm. Details like the teardrop-like terminals and careful curve-to-stem connections add a lightly calligraphic feel without becoming ornate.
Well-suited for editorial typography, long-form reading, and publishing contexts where a refined serif texture is desirable. It can also support brand identities and packaging that aim for a classic, cultivated voice, especially in headlines and short blocks of copy where the flared endings contribute character.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a bookish elegance that reads as trustworthy and established. Its softened flares and moderate contrast add warmth and a hint of old-style charm, making the texture feel inviting rather than stark.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, traditionally rooted serif with added warmth from flared terminals and softened serif brackets. It aims to balance clarity and polish, delivering a familiar literary texture with just enough distinctive detail for display moments.
The figures are proportional and align well with the text color, and the lowercase shows clear differentiation in shapes (notably the open forms of c/e and the rounded bowls). The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman/upright.
