A compact serif with gently flaring stroke endings and tapered, wedge-like terminals that give the letterforms a subtly calligraphic texture. Strokes stay relatively even in thickness, with small, soft joins and a lightly modulated rhythm rather than sharp, high-contrast transitions. The serifs read as more integrated and slightly splayed than crisp, rectangular feet, creating a smooth, carved impression. Counters are modest and the overall fit is tight, producing a dense, tidy color in text while retaining distinct, characterful silhouettes.
Works well for editorial settings where a classic serif voice is desired, such as book typography, magazine features, and pull quotes. The distinctive flared terminals also suit headlines, packaging, and poster copy that benefits from a vintage or literary tone without heavy contrast.
The tone feels traditional and bookish with a touch of hand-made charm. Its flared endings and slightly playful shapes evoke vintage print, editorial warmth, and a mildly theatrical voice rather than strict modern neutrality.
Likely designed to blend traditional serif proportions with flared, tapering terminals to add warmth and personality while keeping an even, readable texture. The goal appears to be a text-capable face that can also deliver character at larger sizes.
Uppercase forms present strong vertical presence with softened, flared finishing strokes, while lowercase shows lively, individual shapes that keep paragraphs from feeling mechanical. Numerals follow the same tapered logic, with curved figures and pointed terminals that stay consistent with the text style.
