A serif face with subtly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs, showing moderate contrast and a steady, upright stance. Curves are generous and slightly calligraphic, while key joins and terminals resolve into crisp, tapered shapes that give the outlines a carved, inked feel. Proportions are balanced with a readable lowercase, open counters, and a lively rhythm; the uppercase is stately without being rigid. Numerals and punctuation follow the same flared logic, with several figures showing oldstyle-style movement and varying heights.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, essays, magazines, and cultural journalism, where its flared detailing adds texture without sacrificing clarity. It can also serve for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a classic serif voice with a lightly calligraphic edge.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, blending traditional seriousness with a touch of handcrafted warmth. It feels composed and trustworthy, with enough character in the terminals and curves to read as distinctive rather than generic.
The design appears intended to echo traditional serif construction while emphasizing flared terminals and tapered finishing to create a refined, text-friendly face with gentle personality. It aims for broad readability with a distinctive rhythm that holds up from paragraph settings to prominent titling.
Diagonal strokes (notably in V/W/X and related lowercase forms) appear clean and energetic, while rounded letters maintain smooth modulation. The ampersand and the Q’s tail add a slightly expressive, classic detail that supports display use as well as longer reading settings.
