A sturdy serif with distinctly flared stroke endings and soft, wedge-like serifs that broaden into terminals rather than stopping abruptly. The letterforms show a gentle calligraphic influence: curves swell slightly, joins are rounded, and diagonals carry a subtle dynamic. Counters are moderately open, while details like the ear and tails are compact and weighty, giving the face a dense, confident color on the page. Proportions feel traditional with a steady cap height and a moderate x-height, and spacing reads as display-leaning—comfortable but not airy—supporting strong word shapes in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for headlines, titles, and short-to-medium passages where the flared terminals can read as intentional texture. It works well for editorial display, book covers, packaging, and brand identities that want a classic foundation with a personable, crafted edge.
The overall tone is approachable and familiar, blending a traditional bookish character with a touch of personality from the flared terminals and softly tapered strokes. It suggests a crafted, slightly old-style warmth rather than a strict, formal editorial voice, making text feel inviting and a bit story-driven.
The design appears intended to offer a traditional serif voice with added warmth and distinctiveness through flared stroke endings, producing strong presence and memorable word shapes. It aims for readability with character—supporting expressive display typography without becoming ornamental.
The numerals and capitals carry the same flared, sculpted finish as the lowercase, helping maintain consistent texture across mixed content. Round letters stay full and dark, while straight stems subtly widen toward ends, creating a gentle rhythm that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes.
