A flared serif with gently swelling stems and softly tapered stroke endings, giving the letters a subtly calligraphic construction without high contrast. Curves are round and generous, counters are open, and terminals often finish with a slight wedge or flare rather than sharp, bracketed serifs. Capitals feel sturdy and slightly wide-set, while the lowercase shows lively, handwritten-like modulation—most noticeable in the flowing shoulders, curved joins, and the distinctive shapes of a, g, and y. Numerals are clear and fairly classic in proportion, matching the rounded, slightly informal rhythm of the alphabet.
Works well for headlines and short passages where a warm, humanist serif is desired—such as book covers, editorial display, packaging, and brand identities that benefit from a classic-yet-friendly tone. It can also suit pull quotes or subheads where the flared terminals add personality without sacrificing legibility.
The overall tone is warm and approachable, with a lightly old-style, bookish character. Its flared endings and rounded forms create a friendly, slightly whimsical voice that suggests tradition without feeling formal or rigid.
Likely intended to blend old-style readability with a more expressive, hand-influenced finish. The flared stroke endings and rounded proportions appear designed to add warmth and distinctiveness in display use while remaining steady enough for extended reading in larger text settings.
The design maintains consistent soft flaring across straight strokes and diagonals, which adds texture at text sizes and gives headings a distinctive silhouette. Round letters (C, O, Q) stay smooth and even, while diagonal-heavy forms (V, W, Y) keep sturdy weight through the joins, reinforcing a confident, readable presence.
