A serif design with bracketed, gently flared serifs and softly tapered strokes that give the outlines a slightly calligraphic feel. The proportions are traditional and readable, with rounded bowls, moderate apertures, and a calm rhythm in text. Uppercase forms feel stately and balanced, while the lowercase shows oldstyle influences—most notably a two-storey “g” and a “y” with a curved descending tail. Figures are lining-style with similarly serifed terminals, maintaining the same understated, book-oriented texture as the letters.
It suits editorial typography where a traditional serif texture is desired, including book interiors, long-form articles, and magazine layouts. It can also support brand identities, packaging, and invitations that benefit from a classic, cultivated voice without heavy ornament.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting a composed, academic presence rather than a loud decorative one. Subtle curvature and flaring add warmth and a hint of vintage print character, making it feel refined and established.
The design appears intended to provide a familiar, readable serif with a touch of distinctive flare—traditional enough for continuous reading, but with small stylistic cues that help it stand apart in headlines and pull quotes.
The detailing reads clean at display sizes, with small, slightly expressive terminals that add personality without disrupting continuity in paragraphs. The italic is not shown; the samples suggest the roman is intended to carry most of the voice through steady, text-friendly spacing.
