This serif shows gently flared, bracketed terminals that broaden into wedge-like serifs, giving the strokes a subtly calligraphic finish. Curves are smoothly modeled with moderate thick–thin modulation, and the overall texture reads even and composed in paragraph settings. Proportions lean slightly narrow with crisp joins and rounded bowls; lowercase forms are lively, with a single-storey “a” and a generous, readable “e.” Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a bookish rhythm.
It suits novels, essays, and other longform reading where a traditional serif texture is desired, as well as magazine and editorial layouts that benefit from a subtly characterful text face. The distinctive flared terminals also make it effective for headlines, cultural branding, and packaging that aims for a classic, literary feel.
The tone feels literary and cultivated, blending classical book-serifs with a softer, more humanist warmth. The flared endings add a touch of elegance without feeling overly formal, making the voice refined but approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable, book-oriented serif with a recognizable flared-terminal signature—classical in structure, but softened through humanist shaping and warm finishing details.
In the samples, the font maintains a stable vertical rhythm and clear word shapes, with open counters and restrained detailing that keeps it comfortable at text sizes while still distinctive in display. Uppercase forms look steady and traditional, while the lowercase introduces more organic movement through terminals and curve modulation.
