A serif typeface with gently modulated strokes and noticeable flaring where stems meet terminals, producing wedge-like, slightly calligraphic endings rather than blunt cuts. Serifs are bracketed and softly shaped, with a smooth transition into the main strokes and a calm, even rhythm in text. Proportions feel balanced with moderately open counters; round letters are full and steady, while diagonals and joins (notably in K, V, W, and y) show subtle widening that reinforces the flared construction. Numerals follow the same low-drama contrast and traditional serif detailing, reading clearly without appearing geometric.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine layouts where a stable serif texture is needed. The flared detailing also works effectively for headings, subheads, and brand language that aims for a traditional, cultivated feel.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, conveying a composed, editorial voice with a hint of warmth from the flared terminals. It feels established and trustworthy rather than trendy, suggesting a traditional reading experience with refined, slightly humanist character.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with subtle flaring for added warmth and identity, creating a dependable text face that can also carry authority in display settings.
In the text sample, spacing and color hold together smoothly, giving paragraphs a consistent texture that supports longer reading. The flared terminals add distinct personality at larger sizes (headlines and pull quotes) while remaining restrained enough to avoid ornamented display behavior.
