A serif typeface with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed terminals that give stems a tapered, calligraphic feel. The drawing is low-contrast and steady, with broad proportions and open counters that keep forms clear at text sizes. Serifs read as sharp wedges rather than slabs, and curves transition smoothly into straight strokes, producing a calm rhythm. Uppercase is sturdy and fairly wide, while the lowercase maintains an even, readable texture with a compact, single-storey “g” and a straightforward, modernized “a”. Numerals are sturdy and open, matching the same flared, tapered logic as the letters.
Well suited to book typography, magazines, and other editorial layouts where a comfortable, traditional serif texture is desired. Its broad, open forms also work for branding, packaging, and headlines that need a classic voice with a slightly hand-shaped finish.
The overall tone is literary and editorial—classic without feeling ornate. Flared terminals add a crafted, humanist warmth, while the consistent structure keeps it composed and contemporary. It feels trustworthy and bookish, with a quiet sophistication suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended to bridge classic serif familiarity with a more calligraphic, flared finish, creating a distinctive reading face that remains steady and practical. It aims for an elegant, crafted personality while preserving clarity and an even text rhythm.
The sample text shows confident spacing and a stable baseline, with letterforms that keep their character under dense setting. Diacritics and punctuation aren’t shown, but the core alphabet and figures present a cohesive, well-matched set with a distinct flare at stroke endings.
