A flared serif with gently tapered stems that swell into broadened, bracketed terminals, giving strokes a subtly calligraphic rhythm. The proportions feel balanced and readable, with moderately open counters and clear differentiation between thick and thin parts of the stroke. Uppercase forms are stately and traditional, while lowercase shows smooth, rounded bowls and softly modeled joins; details like the ear and terminals introduce a quiet liveliness without becoming decorative. Numerals are old-style in feel, with elegant curves and consistent color alongside the text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a warm, traditional serif voice is desired. It also holds up for section heads, pull quotes, and cultured branding applications that benefit from a refined, classic tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with an understated elegance that suggests tradition and care. Its soft flaring and restrained contrast lend warmth and a slightly humanist presence, reading as formal without feeling rigid.
Designed to combine traditional serif proportions with flared, brush-like modulation, aiming for a readable text face that carries a human touch. The intention appears to be a versatile serif that can move between editorial text and dignified display without losing its calm, literary character.
Spacing appears even and text color stays consistent in the sample paragraph, supporting comfortable continuous reading. Distinctive curved terminals and subtly widened stroke endings provide personality at display sizes while remaining composed in paragraph settings.
