A text-oriented serif with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that soften transitions into stems. Curves are generous and slightly calligraphic, with moderate contrast and a steady, bookish rhythm. The uppercase shows classical proportions with a stable, centered stance, while the lowercase has rounded bowls and subtly tapered joins that keep the texture lively without becoming ornate. Numerals follow the same measured, traditional construction and sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for heritage-leaning branding, cultural institutions, and packaging that benefits from a refined yet approachable voice. In display sizes, the flared terminals and bracketed serifs provide tasteful character for titles, pull quotes, and formal announcements.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting familiarity and credibility rather than sharp modernity. Its softened flares and rounded curves add warmth, making it feel welcoming and slightly humanist while still reading as formal and established.
The letterforms appear intended to blend classical serif conventions with subtle flaring and soft modulation, delivering a readable text face with a crafted, slightly calligraphic presence. The design balances familiarity and personality so it can serve as a dependable workhorse while still lending a distinct, traditional charm.
The design keeps counters open and avoids extreme contrast, helping maintain an even color in paragraphs. Subtle stroke widening toward terminals provides a crafted feel that stands out in headings without sacrificing a calm reading texture in longer text.
