A flared serif with gently widening stroke endings and softly bracketed terminals that give the forms a chiseled, calligraphic feel. The letterforms are relatively open and readable, with rounded bowls, moderate apertures, and a steady, even color on the page. Serifs are not rigid slabs; instead they taper and flare, creating a subtle sense of movement at joins and terminals. Uppercase proportions feel dignified and stable, while the lowercase shows a slightly more dynamic rhythm, especially in curved joins and the ear/terminal details.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, long-form articles, and book interiors where an even, comfortable reading texture is important. The distinctive flared terminals also make it effective for display uses—headlines, section openers, and brand typography—where a classic, crafted serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is bookish and editorial, combining traditional serif cues with a warmer, more hand-influenced finish. It reads as calm and authoritative rather than flashy, with enough character in the flaring and terminal shapes to feel crafted and human.
The design appears intended to bridge classical serif structure with subtly sculpted, flared detailing, delivering a readable text face that still carries a recognizable signature in its terminals and stroke endings.
Numerals are clear and conventional in structure, matching the serif language and maintaining strong legibility. The sample text shows consistent spacing and a comfortable texture in paragraph-like settings, with punctuation and capitals sitting cleanly without drawing undue attention.
