A flared serif with softly sculpted strokes and tapered terminals that expand into subtle, wedge-like endings. Serifs are small and bracketed, with a gently calligraphic modulation that stays controlled rather than high-contrast. Rounds are full and smooth, counters are open, and the overall rhythm is even, giving text a steady color. Capitals feel stately and slightly wide-shouldered, while lowercase maintains clear, traditional proportions and a readable, moderate x-height.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that benefits from a refined, heritage-leaning voice, and it holds up for headlines and subheads thanks to its clear, sculpted forms.
The tone is classic and literary, with an understated elegance that reads as editorial rather than decorative. Its flared endings add warmth and a hand-touched character, lending sophistication without feeling overly formal.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with subtly flared, calligraphic terminals, creating a readable text face that also carries personality in display settings. The controlled contrast and bracketed shaping suggest an emphasis on steady paragraph rhythm paired with a distinctive, crafted finish.
In the samples, the type shows crisp joins and consistent stroke tapering across both straight and curved forms, helping it stay clean at text sizes. Figures appear sturdy and traditional in proportion, matching the serifed texture of the alphabet.
