A flared serif with gently swelling stems that taper into wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed serifs. The curves are round and open, with a steady rhythm and moderate stroke modulation that stays calm rather than dramatic. Uppercase forms feel traditional and stately, with pointed apexes on A/V/W and well-balanced bowls on B/P/R. Lowercase shows a single-storey g, a softly angled shoulder on r, and slender ascenders with compact, clean terminals; numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel with elegant curves and clear differentiation.
This font is well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where a refined serif texture and comfortable paragraph color are priorities. It also performs well in display sizes for literary titles, cultural institutions, and premium branding that benefits from a warm, classical serif with distinctive flared terminals.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, suggesting heritage and craft without feeling overly ornamental. Its flared endings add warmth and a subtle handwritten echo, giving text a cultured, slightly classical voice suited to long-form reading and thoughtful branding.
The design appears intended to blend classical proportions with a subtly calligraphic flare, producing a readable serif that feels crafted and timeless. It aims for versatility across text and display by keeping contrast controlled while giving strokes expressive, tapered endings.
Spacing appears even and measured in the sample text, supporting a smooth reading color at paragraph sizes. The design maintains consistent flare behavior across straight and curved strokes, which helps headlines keep a graceful, engraved-like presence without becoming rigid.
