A serif text face with slender, gently modulated strokes and a calm vertical stance. Serifs are bracketed and often transition into subtly flared terminals, giving stroke endings a softened, slightly calligraphic feel rather than sharp, rigid cuts. Proportions are balanced with moderate capitals and a lower-case that reads cleanly; curves are smooth, counters are open, and spacing appears even for continuous text. Numerals follow the same restrained contrast and show clear, traditional shapes suited to running copy.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a polished serif texture is desired. It can also support upscale branding, programs, and invitations that benefit from a traditional, cultivated tone without heavy ornament.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a quiet formality that suggests editorial and book typography. Its flared endings add warmth and tactility, keeping the impression elegant rather than mechanical. The voice is classic and composed, appropriate for content that aims to feel trustworthy and considered.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with added softness from flared, gently tapered terminals. It prioritizes legibility and an even typographic color while injecting a subtle humanist warmth through its stroke endings and moderate contrast.
In text, the rhythm is steady and the joins and terminals avoid abruptness, lending a slightly human, pen-influenced character. Diagonal strokes in letters like V/W/X stay crisp while maintaining the same gentle modulation, and round letters retain consistent curvature without becoming overly ornate.
