A serif typeface with flared, gently bracketed stroke endings that broaden into wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show moderate contrast with smooth transitions, a stable upright stance, and open, readable counters. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, O, and e), while joins and terminals retain a subtly calligraphic shaping that keeps the rhythm lively without becoming decorative. Capitals feel stately and slightly wide, with crisp apexes and controlled curves; lowercase maintains an even texture with a straightforward, single-storey g and a compact, well-balanced e.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and steady text color are important. It can also serve effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a confident, classic tone.
The overall tone reads classic and bookish, with an editorial polish that suggests tradition and credibility. Its flared terminals add warmth and a faint hand-rendered character, keeping the mood refined rather than mechanical. The result feels appropriate for serious, cultivated communication without looking overly rigid.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional serif readability with the expressive warmth of flared terminals, offering a dependable text face that still carries personality. It aims for an even, comfortable rhythm in paragraphs while providing distinctive shapes for display use when set larger.
Numerals appear proportionate and clear, with rounded forms and consistent weight distribution that harmonizes with the text. Spacing in the sample paragraph looks comfortable, producing an even gray value suitable for sustained reading while still giving headlines a distinctive serif presence.
