A serif typeface with a calm, bookish rhythm and subtly flared, bracketed stroke endings that soften the joins into the serifs. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin modulation with smooth, calligraphic transitions, and the curves are generously rounded rather than geometric. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and stately, while the lowercase shows an oldstyle-leaning construction with a two-storey “g,” a sturdy “a,” and slightly tapered terminals that keep the texture lively. Numerals follow the same serifed, gently modulated style and sit comfortably alongside the letters for continuous text.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works for magazine typography, reports, and refined print collateral that benefits from a classical, trustworthy texture.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, with an understated elegance suited to serious content. Its flared detailing adds warmth and a faintly handwritten sensibility, avoiding the sharp austerity of more rigid modern serifs.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, readable serif for text and editorial use, adding character through flared terminals and gentle modulation while preserving a conventional, familiar skeleton.
In paragraph settings the face maintains an even gray value, with clear counters and stable verticals that support sustained reading. The flared endings and bracketing give the type a slightly organic finish that reads as traditional rather than decorative.
