A clean, readable text face with subtly flared stroke endings and gently bracketed transitions that give it a semi-serif feel without pronounced serifs. Curves are smooth and moderately stressed, with open apertures and roomy counters that keep letters clear at text sizes. Uppercase forms are steady and balanced, while lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a compact, slightly angled “e.” Numerals follow the same measured, text-oriented construction, with an oldstyle feel in some figures and soft, tapered terminals throughout.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, essays, and reports where sustained readability and a composed texture matter. Its restrained character also works for brand identities, packaging, and headlines that want a classic, cultivated tone without high-contrast drama.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting calm authority rather than overt personality. Subtle calligraphic cues add warmth and sophistication, making it feel appropriate for long-form reading and polished editorial settings.
The font appears designed to bridge modern clarity with traditional typographic warmth, using flared terminals and moderated contrast to achieve a refined text color. It aims for versatility across display and reading sizes while keeping a distinctly literary, editorial voice.
The design leans on gentle modulation and terminal flare to create differentiation and texture in paragraphs without becoming decorative. The sample text shows stable spacing and an even color on the page, with clear letterforms that hold up well in mixed-case reading.
