A serif typeface with tapered, flared stroke endings and gently bracketed terminals that give the letters a subtly calligraphic construction. Curves are smooth and open, with moderate stroke modulation and crisp joins that stay clean at text sizes. Proportions feel balanced and traditional: capitals are stately without being overly wide, while lowercase forms show clear differentiation and steady rhythm. Numerals follow the same disciplined, serifed treatment, matching the overall texture in running text.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also support refined branding, programs, invitations, and display headlines that benefit from a classical voice with a touch of warmth.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting refinement and authority without feeling ornate. Its flared detailing adds a quiet warmth and a slightly humanist, old-style sensibility, making it feel editorial and trustworthy rather than purely modern or mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, literary serif presence with understated individuality, using flared terminals and moderate contrast to add character while maintaining dependable readability.
The flaring is most apparent on vertical strokes and at terminals, lending a subtly sculpted silhouette. Counters stay relatively generous, and the spacing in the sample text reads even, producing a composed, traditional color on the page.
