A serif text face with sculpted, flared terminals and gently bracketed serifs that broaden as strokes meet the baseline and cap line. Strokes show a clear but moderate thick–thin modulation, with smooth transitions and slightly tapered joins that give the letters a carved, calligraphic feel. Proportions read generous and open, with rounded bowls, clear apertures, and a steady rhythm that remains calm even at large display sizes. Numerals and capitals appear firmly structured and traditional, while lowercase forms keep a readable, bookish texture with subtle stroke flare at key endings.
It performs well for long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts, where its open forms and measured contrast support comfortable texture. At larger sizes it also works for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding, especially when a classic serif voice with subtle calligraphic flair is desired.
The overall tone is classic and composed, projecting a literary, editorial sensibility. Its flared details add warmth and a touch of formality, suggesting tradition without feeling overly ornate. The result is confident and refined, suited to settings where typographic voice should feel established and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif proportions with a distinctive flared-stroke finish, creating a text-ready face that still carries character in display use. Its controlled contrast and consistent terminal treatment suggest an emphasis on readability, steady rhythm, and an elevated, editorial tone.
The flare and taper at terminals are consistently applied across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping text lines feel cohesive. Curved letters (C, G, O, e) show smooth, even curvature, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) retain crispness without becoming sharp or brittle.
