A flared serif text face with gently sculpted, calligraphic stroke behavior and soft, bracketed transitions into the serifs. Curves are generous and open, with rounded bowls and smooth joins that keep the texture even in paragraph settings. Terminals frequently finish in tapered, slightly wedge-like forms, giving strokes a carved look rather than a crisp, hairline finish. Numerals and capitals feel sturdy and evenly balanced, with a calm rhythm and comfortable spacing that favors readability.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books and essays, as well as editorial layouts where an inviting, classical texture is desirable. The distinctive flared serifs also make it effective for refined branding, packaging, and titles that want tradition with a softer, more human edge.
The overall tone is literary and quietly expressive, suggesting traditional book typography with a contemporary softness. Its flared endings and smooth modulation add warmth and a subtle handcrafted character without becoming ornate. The impression is confident and cultivated, suited to thoughtful, narrative-forward design.
Likely designed to provide a highly readable serif with a carved, flared finishing vocabulary that adds character while preserving an even text rhythm. The aim appears to be versatility across display-to-text sizes, pairing classic proportions with subtly expressive terminals.
The italic-like liveliness appears in a few shapes through curved entry/exit strokes and subtly dynamic diagonals, while the core structure remains steady and upright. The flaring is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps maintain a cohesive page color in continuous text.
