A text-oriented serif with subtly flared, bracketed terminals and a gently modulated stroke. Curves are open and round with smooth join transitions, while verticals remain steady and slightly tapered into the serifs. The lowercase shows an oldstyle flavor—noticeable in the two-storey a, the ear on g, and the softly angled stress in rounded forms—paired with a calm, even rhythm. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, with crisp top serifs and controlled curves (notably in C, G, and S). Numerals are proportional and traditional in feel, with rounded shapes and clear differentiation.
Well-suited for body text in books, essays, and long-form editorial layouts where a classic serif tone is desired. It also performs nicely for magazine features, cultural institutions, and literary or academic headings that benefit from a refined, traditional voice. The flared terminals can add character to pull quotes, section heads, and tasteful branding systems that lean classic rather than modernist.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting bookish authority without feeling stiff. Its flared endings and moderate modulation add warmth and a faintly calligraphic character that reads as human and approachable. The face conveys a quiet seriousness suited to long-form reading and considered, editorial communication.
The design appears intended as a readable, classically grounded serif with flared terminals that add warmth and distinctiveness. It balances traditional proportions with gentle stroke shaping to feel familiar in text while still offering a recognizable, curated personality.
In text, the spacing feels comfortable and the forms stay clear at large sizes, with recognizable silhouettes and restrained detail. The serifs and terminals create a soft horizontal emphasis that supports line flow while keeping a refined, classical presence.
