A serif typeface with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanically cut. Strokes are mostly even with modest modulation, and the curves are smooth and open, giving counters a generous, readable shape. The lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented structure with a two-storey a and g, a sturdy vertical stress, and softly tapered terminals on letters like c, e, and s. Capitals are steady and slightly wide-set in feel, with confident arches and rounded bowls, while figures are clear and sturdy with understated curvature and small finishing flares.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and open counters support comfortable text. The flared endings and classic proportions also make it effective for headlines, publishing identities, and brand systems that want a traditional but personable voice.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a calm authority that recalls traditional book typography. Its flared terminals add a human, slightly calligraphic warmth, keeping it from feeling austere or overly formal.
The design appears intended to balance dependable text readability with a recognizable, historically informed character. By using flared terminals and restrained contrast, it aims for a humane, crafted serif look that works across both continuous reading and prominent typographic moments.
Round letters (o, c, e) maintain consistent openness, and the joins in n, m, and h stay smooth and restrained, supporting an even text rhythm. The design reads cleanly at text sizes while still showing distinctive terminal shaping in display use.
