This typeface presents a slender serif structure with subtly flared stroke endings and small wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than bracketed. Curves are clean and open, with a slightly calligraphic modulation in how strokes taper into terminals, giving letters a lively, drawn rhythm without pronounced thick–thin drama. Capitals are sharp and elegant with pointed apexes and tidy joins, while lowercase forms keep an even, readable texture; diagonals and arms often finish in crisp, angled cuts. Numerals follow the same restrained, tapered logic and sit comfortably alongside the text with a consistent, composed color.
It suits editorial typography, book interiors, and literary or academic material where a traditional serif voice with a subtle handcrafted edge is desirable. It can also work well for headings, pull quotes, and cultured branding or packaging that benefits from crisp serifs and flared terminals.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, with a faint historical or manuscript-inspired character that reads as cultured and intentional rather than ornamental. It feels refined and slightly formal, suitable for text that wants a touch of tradition and personality without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif readability with a more human, calligraphic finish, using flared terminals and wedge serifs to add character while maintaining a calm, consistent reading texture.
The flaring at terminals is a defining detail: many strokes widen gently before ending, creating a soft emphasis at word edges and along vertical stems. This produces a graceful rhythm in continuous text, especially visible in round letters and in the ends of horizontals and diagonals.
