Serif Flared Werat 3 is a regular weight, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Poppl-Laudatio' by Berthold, 'Big Vesta' by Linotype, 'Alinea Incise' by Présence Typo, and 'Angie Sans Std' by Typofonderie (names referenced only for comparison).

A flared serif with clear wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed joins that give the stems a subtly sculpted, ink-trap-free feel. Strokes show moderate modulation, with rounded curves staying smooth and open while verticals read firm and steady. The capitals are broad and well-proportioned with sharp apexes and slightly tapered arms, and the lowercase follows a conventional rhythm with a two-storey “g,” compact “e,” and a gently angled stress that supports continuous reading. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel through their varied silhouettes and open counters, maintaining the same flared finishing throughout.
Well-suited to book interiors, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading where a steady rhythm and comfortable serifs are desirable. It can also support headings and pull quotes, where the flared terminals provide a distinctive, traditional character without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional print typography with a slightly calligraphic edge. Its flared endings add warmth and craftsmanship while keeping the voice formal and composed.
Likely designed as a readable, print-forward serif that blends classical proportions with subtly flared terminals for a crafted, engraved-like finish. The intention appears to balance familiarity and authority with a touch of warmth in continuous text.
Serifs and terminals tend toward wedge shapes rather than thin hairlines, which helps preserve clarity in heavier text settings. Curves and bowls appear generously drawn, producing stable counters and an even page color in the sample text.
