A serif typeface with gently flared stems and bracketed serifs that broaden into wedge-like endings. Strokes show moderated contrast with softly modeled joins, giving counters a slightly calligraphic, carved feel rather than a rigid, mechanical construction. Uppercase forms are sturdy and open, with crisp serifs and smooth curves (notably in C, G, O, and Q), while the lowercase balances compact bowls with energetic terminals and a subtly varied rhythm across letters. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and descenders/ascenders that align with the text color of the lowercase.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its moderated contrast and open forms support a stable text color. It also works effectively for cultured branding, titles, and packaging that benefit from a traditional serif voice with a subtly sculpted finish.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, combining an editorial seriousness with a warm, humanist softness. The flared stroke endings add a crafted, slightly historical flavor that feels refined without becoming ornate or overly formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable reading serif with a distinctly modeled, flared-stem character—bridging classical proportions with a crafted, contemporary polish. Its oldstyle numerals and steady rhythm suggest a focus on immersive text while retaining enough personality for headings and identity work.
Text samples show an even, comfortable texture in paragraph-like settings, with clear differentiation between similar shapes and a steady baseline presence. Round letters stay generous and smooth, while diagonals and arms keep a crisp, chiseled finish, helping maintain clarity at larger text and display sizes.
