A serif text face with gently flared, bracketed stroke endings and moderate contrast between thick and thin. The curves are round and open, with a slightly calligraphic feel in the transitions and terminals rather than hard, geometric joins. Capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows traditional, readable forms (including a two-storey a and g) and a steady rhythm in running text. Figures appear lining and clear, with smooth curves on 3, 6, 8, and 9 and a straightforward, readable 0 and 1.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a calm, traditional voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic serif presence and softly flared details.
The overall tone is literary and composed, leaning toward classic book typography with a warm, human touch. The flared endings and softened joins give it a subtly crafted, old-style impression without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to balance classical serif conventions with a slightly calligraphic, flared finish, prioritizing readability and an elegant page texture. Its proportions and restrained contrast suggest a focus on dependable text performance with enough character for premium editorial or cultural contexts.
In text settings the color is even and comfortable, with terminals and serifs that help guide the eye along the line. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a confident roman suited to longer passages as well as larger display sizes.
