A readable serif with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that soften joins and terminals. Strokes stay fairly even, with only subtle modulation, while curves are round and open, giving counters generous breathing room. Proportions feel balanced and slightly humanist: capitals are sturdy and calm, and lowercase forms show clear differentiation with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a compact “t,” and a straightforward, highly legible “e.” Numerals are clear and sturdy, with familiar, text-friendly shapes.
Well suited for continuous reading in editorial layouts such as books, magazines, and long-form articles. It can also handle headings and subheads where a traditional, credible voice is needed, especially when paired with clean supporting typography.
The overall tone is warm and bookish, suggesting established craft rather than sharp modernity. Its softened serifs and open shapes convey approachability and trust, making it feel appropriate for serious content without looking cold or overly formal.
The design appears intended to deliver dependable readability with a hint of calligraphic warmth, using flared terminals and bracketed serifs to create a classic texture that remains clear at text sizes.
The flaring at stroke ends is noticeable without becoming decorative, adding a subtle rhythm that helps lines of text feel cohesive. Spacing appears comfortable in the sample paragraph, supporting longer reading while preserving crisp word shapes.
