This serif has sculpted, flared stroke endings that read as wedge-like serifs, with gently bracketed joins and a subtly calligraphic modulation. Stems broaden into terminals rather than ending abruptly, giving the forms a carved, slightly organic feel. The proportions are balanced and bookish: capitals are broad and steady, while lowercase shapes show smooth curves, open counters, and rounded shoulders. Numerals and punctuation follow the same tapering logic, maintaining a consistent rhythm and a cohesive, traditional texture in text.
It’s well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. The distinctive flared terminals also make it effective for literary titles, museum or cultural communications, and brand identities that want a crafted, heritage-leaning voice.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting craftsmanship and tradition without feeling overly formal. Its flared terminals add warmth and a human touch, making the voice feel confident and established rather than stark or mechanical.
The design appears intended to bridge classic serif readability with the expressive finish of flared, tapered terminals. It aims for a timeless, text-friendly foundation while adding a recognizable, humanist signature in the stroke endings and joins.
In paragraphs, the face produces an even, readable color with clear word shapes and a gentle, flowing cadence. The flaring at stroke ends becomes a distinctive signature at larger sizes, while at text sizes it reads as a subtle refinement that softens the page.
