A serif typeface with subtly flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs that give stems a gentle, calligraphic taper. Proportions feel balanced and readable, with open counters and a smooth, even rhythm across words. Curves are round and steady (not rigidly geometric), and joins show slight organic modulation rather than sharp mechanical transitions. The lowercase has a traditional, bookish structure with a two-storey “g” and familiar oldstyle proportions, while capitals are broad and stately without appearing heavy.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts, where its gentle flaring and open shapes keep paragraphs comfortable. It can also serve in refined branding, packaging, and print applications that benefit from a traditional yet approachable serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a warm, human presence that reads as established and trustworthy. Its flared endings add a touch of elegance and craft, suggesting tradition without feeling ornate or formal to the point of stiffness.
The design appears intended to bridge classical serif conventions with subtly flared, humanist stroke endings, creating a readable text face that feels crafted and distinctive while staying versatile for everyday publishing.
In the sample text, the face maintains clarity at text sizes, with a comfortable color and consistent spacing that supports continuous reading. The figures appear straightforward and text-friendly, matching the restrained, editorial character of the letters.
