A text-oriented serif with subtly flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that give the outlines a sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions and clear stress, while curves are generous and counters stay open for comfortable reading. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned; the lowercase has a steady rhythm with rounded shoulders and neatly finished terminals. Numerals follow the same serifed logic, with clear shapes and consistent weight distribution.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve for institutional or heritage-leaning branding, as well as headlines and subheads that benefit from a composed, classic texture.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting refinement without feeling brittle. Its flared detailing adds a warm, human touch, lending a sense of tradition, credibility, and calm authority.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a distinctive flared finishing that adds personality and warmth. It aims for a stable, bookish rhythm and clear forms while offering a subtly expressive, crafted edge.
The spacing and sidebearings read balanced in the sample text, supporting continuous reading with an even color. The flaring at stroke ends is noticeable in verticals and diagonals, helping letters feel anchored and slightly monumental at larger sizes while remaining composed in paragraphs.
