This typeface shows an oldstyle serif structure with gently flared terminals and bracketed serifs that soften joins rather than forming sharp slabs. Strokes exhibit moderate contrast and a subtly calligraphic modulation, with round forms that feel slightly organic instead of rigidly geometric. Counters are open and the curves are full, while capitals are broad and steady, giving the alphabet a stately rhythm. The lowercase includes a two-storey “g” and a traditional serifed “t,” and overall spacing reads comfortable and text-oriented.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, articles, and magazine typography where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works for headlines, pull quotes, and literary or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from classic proportions and softly flared finishing.
The tone is classic and bookish, evoking traditional printing and editorial typography. Its flared finishing and moderate contrast add a refined, slightly humanist warmth while remaining formal enough for institutional or literary contexts. In larger sizes it can feel dignified and confident; in paragraphs it reads calm and familiar.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional oldstyle serif by emphasizing flared terminals and smooth bracketing to keep the letterforms warm and readable. It aims for a dependable, text-forward voice that can also scale up gracefully for display use.
Numerals appear lining and proportional, with clear differentiation and traditional serif details. The punctuation and mixed-case sample suggest a steady color in text, with enough stroke modulation to create texture without becoming delicate.
