This serif has gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that read as carved rather than mechanical. Proportions are moderately wide with a steady rhythm, and curves transition smoothly into stems, giving counters a rounded, open feel. The lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented structure (two‑storey a and g, compact e, sturdy n/m) with short-to-moderate extenders and a calm, even color on the page. Numerals follow the same classic construction, with clear shapes and a slightly varied character from figure to figure rather than strict geometric uniformity.
It suits book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. The strong uppercase presence also works for headings, pull quotes, and dignified branding applications, while the restrained modulation keeps paragraphs readable and steady.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with an understated elegance that suggests print culture and long-form reading. Its flare and soft modeling add warmth and a subtly historic, literary voice without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to blend traditional book-serif familiarity with a subtly flared, hand-shaped finish, producing a dependable reading face that still carries a touch of crafted personality.
Uppercase forms are stately and stable, with prominent serifs and slightly sculpted joins that keep large settings from feeling rigid. The italic is not shown, but the roman’s tapered terminals and moderate contrast provide enough modulation to maintain clarity at both display and text sizes.
