A sturdy serif with softly flared, bracketed terminals that widen into the joins, giving strokes a gently calligraphic swelling rather than abrupt slab endings. The drawing is upright with clear, open counters and a steady rhythm, pairing rounded bowls (C, O, Q) with confident verticals and slightly tapered curves. Serifs are present but not overly sharp; many terminals feel subtly cupped or splayed, helping the letters read smoothly at text sizes. Lowercase forms are compact and conventional, with a two-storey “g” and “a”, moderate ascenders/descenders, and a readable, even color across lines. Numerals are sturdy and old-style in feel, with curved transitions and distinct shapes that match the text tone.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a steady serif texture and clear letterforms matter. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, institutional branding, and pull quotes, where the flared terminals add character while keeping a controlled, professional voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a composed, trustworthy presence. Its gentle flaring and moderate contrast add warmth and refinement, evoking editorial seriousness without feeling brittle or overly ornate.
The design appears intended to balance classic serif tradition with a slightly human, calligraphic finish. By using gently flared terminals and moderate contrast, it aims for durable readability in text while still offering enough personality for display and identity use.
Capitals have a slightly monumental stance with wide, stable curves and firm horizontals, while the lowercase maintains a smooth, continuous flow in paragraph settings. The flared terminals create a subtle hand-made impression that softens the texture and reduces harsh edges in dense text.
