This typeface is a low-contrast serif with gently flared stroke endings that read as soft, tapered serifs rather than abrupt brackets. Strokes feel slightly calligraphic, with smooth joins and rounded transitions that keep the texture even in text. Uppercase proportions are classical and steady, while the lowercase shows open counters and a modest, readable rhythm; the overall color is calm rather than sharp. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and flowing curves that blend naturally into running text.
It suits long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts, where the low contrast and open counters support comfortable texture. The distinctive flared endings also make it effective for refined branding, cultural materials, and invitations where a classic voice with gentle personality is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a warm, human feel coming from the flared endings and softened geometry. It suggests editorial seriousness without feeling rigid, leaning more toward approachable refinement than formal austerity.
The design appears intended to bridge classical serif tradition with a more organic, calligraphic softness, using flared terminals to add character while preserving a stable, readable text rhythm. Its oldstyle numerals reinforce a text-first orientation and a historically informed aesthetic.
In text, the face maintains an even cadence with clear word shapes, supported by open apertures and relatively generous internal space. Curved letters show smooth, continuous bowls, and diagonals (such as in V/W/X) keep a measured, dignified presence without aggressive sharpness.
