A flared serif with gently tapered strokes that broaden into soft, bracketed terminals rather than sharp slab endings. The overall color is even and low-contrast, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that shows most clearly in the curved letters and the angled joins. Proportions lean traditional: relatively small x-height, generous ascenders, and open counters that keep the texture readable in text. Serifs are compact and subtly splayed, and many strokes finish with a faint wedge-like flare that gives the outlines a carved, inked quality.
Well suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine articles where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also support identity work for publishers, cultural institutions, and brands aiming for a classic, crafted voice, especially in headings paired with restrained typography.
The tone feels classic and bookish, with a warm, handcrafted edge that suggests editorial tradition rather than strict modernism. Its flared endings and softly modeled shapes add a gentle formality that reads as refined and familiar.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif readability with the softer, more human character of flared terminals, producing a text face that feels established yet slightly artisanal.
In the sample text, spacing and rhythm present a steady, moderately compact texture suited to continuous reading. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and curves that blend naturally with lowercase, reinforcing a text-first personality.
