A serif text face with gently tapered strokes and subtly flared terminals, giving stems a softened, hand-shaped feel rather than hard, abrupt endings. Serifs are small and bracketed, with modest curvature and a slightly bulbous, ink-trap-like swell at some joins. Counters are compact and the overall color is even, with low modulation across rounds and verticals; spacing appears controlled for continuous reading. The lowercase shows sturdy, slightly condensed forms with a two-storey “a” and “g,” short-to-moderate ascenders, and a clear, readable rhythm.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and magazine text where a familiar serif voice and steady texture are desired. It can also serve in headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a classic, slightly hand-shaped serif presence.
The tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed books and editorial typography. Its flared endings and mild calligraphic shaping add warmth and a human presence without becoming decorative or overly historicized.
The design appears intended to deliver comfortable, traditional readability while adding subtle distinction through flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs. It aims for an editorial, print-forward feel with enough character to stand out in display sizes without sacrificing text utility.
Capitals are straightforward and restrained, while curves (notably in C, G, S, and Q) carry small terminal flicks that add character. Numerals are solid and text-like, with an oldstyle-feeling liveliness and consistent weight that suits paragraph settings.
