A serif typeface with gently flared, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that feel drawn rather than mechanical. Strokes show a calm, moderate contrast with smooth transitions into the serifs, giving verticals a subtly widening finish and softening joins. Proportions are balanced and readable, with open bowls and counters, a relatively upright axis, and a steady rhythm across text. The figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with curved, slightly calligraphic stress and varied shapes that sit comfortably alongside the lowercase.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and essays, as well as editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve for chapter titles, pull quotes, and institutional communications where a refined but approachable tone is important.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a quiet elegance that reads as traditional without feeling overly formal. Its flared endings add warmth and a humanist touch, suggesting heritage publishing, thoughtful editorial design, and cultural institutions.
The design appears intended to combine classical serif readability with a lightly calligraphic, flared finish that adds warmth and distinction in both text and display settings. The consistent rhythm and open shapes suggest a focus on comfortable reading and polished editorial texture.
In running text the letterforms maintain a smooth texture and consistent color, while the flaring at stroke ends adds a subtle sparkle at larger sizes. Capitals appear stately and slightly narrow in presence compared to the rounded, generous lowercase, producing a familiar text-and-display versatility.
