A serif text face with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that widen as they meet stems. Proportions lean traditional, with moderate x-height and a readable rhythm in continuous text. Curves are full and rounded, counters stay open, and joins show subtle calligraphic modulation rather than rigid geometry. The lowercase features a two-storey “a” and “g,” a compact “e” with a slightly angled cross-stroke, and a “t” with a firm, understated top—overall giving a steady, bookish texture.
Well-suited to book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where an even, comfortable text color matters. It can also support brand systems that want a traditional, trustworthy voice, and it scales up cleanly for headlines and pull quotes while keeping its serif character.
The tone is classic and cultivated, with a warm, humanist feel that reads as editorial rather than decorative. It suggests heritage and trustworthiness without becoming overly formal, making it feel comfortable for long reading while still carrying a refined presence.
Likely designed as a versatile serif for continuous reading, blending traditional proportions with subtle flaring to add warmth and distinctiveness. The goal appears to be a dependable text companion with enough personality for display moments without sacrificing legibility.
Capitals have sturdy verticals and broad curves, and the numerals follow the same serifed, slightly modulated logic for cohesive text setting. Stroke endings and terminals remain consistent across the set, reinforcing a calm, even color at typical reading sizes.
