This typeface is a serif with subtly flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs, giving the forms a carved, calligraphic feel rather than a sharply rational one. Curves are smoothly drawn with moderate thick–thin modulation, and terminals often finish with a soft, tapered sweep. Proportions lean traditional: capitals are stately and evenly balanced, while lowercase shows a readable rhythm with rounded bowls, a compact, double-storey “g,” and understated, narrow joins. Numerals sit comfortably with the text and maintain the same restrained contrast and serif treatment.
It suits extended reading in print and editorial contexts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The capitals also work well for literary titles, pull quotes, and heritage-leaning branding, while the gentle flare can add character to invitations or formal announcements without sacrificing legibility.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting tradition, credibility, and quiet elegance. Its soft flaring and moderated contrast keep it feeling warm and human, avoiding a cold or overly formal impression while still reading as serious and established.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classical serif structure with softened, flared finishes to add warmth and hand-influenced character. It aims for a dependable reading texture while providing enough personality for display use in headings and titles.
In text, the spacing and stroke behavior produce a steady, book-like color with clear letter separation. The flared endings are most noticeable on verticals and at key terminals, adding a subtle organic lift without becoming decorative.
