A flared serif with high stroke contrast and a sculpted, slightly calligraphic construction. Stems swell into tapered, flare-like endings, creating bracketed-looking terminals rather than blunt slabs. Counters are generous and open, with smooth, oval bowls and crisp joins; diagonals on letters like V, W, X, and Y feel sharp and clean. The overall color is elegant and rhythmic, with strong vertical emphasis and ample spacing that lets the contrast and flaring details read clearly.
Works well for editorial design, book typography, and long-form display where a classic serif feel is desired with a slightly more expressive finish. It also suits upscale branding, packaging, and invitation-style materials that benefit from refined contrast and distinctive flared terminals.
The tone is dignified and bookish, with a traditional, editorial voice. Its flared endings add a subtle humanist warmth, while the contrast and crisp geometry keep it polished and authoritative.
Likely designed to blend classic serif readability with a more sculptural, contemporary take on stroke endings. The intention appears to be a refined text-and-display face that stands apart through flared terminals and strong contrast while remaining conventional enough for serious reading contexts.
In the sample text, the font maintains clarity at large sizes and holds up well in dense paragraph setting, where the wide proportions and open counters prevent clogging. Figures appear lining-style with similarly flared finishing strokes, matching the text’s formal character.
