A flared serif text face with wedge-like terminals and subtly swelling stroke endings that give the letters a carved, calligraphic feel. Proportions are moderately compact with a steady rhythm and sturdy, low-contrast strokes; bowls are rounded and open, while joins and terminals show gentle shaping rather than sharp mechanical cuts. Uppercase forms feel traditional and slightly monumental, and the lowercase maintains clear counters and readable silhouettes, with restrained flourishes and a consistent baseline presence.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines and display copy when you want a traditional, cultured voice without heavy contrast. The distinctive flared terminals can add character to packaging, identity systems, and formal print pieces like programs or invitations.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, suggesting traditional publishing and editorial refinement. Its flared terminals add warmth and human touch, balancing formality with approachability. The texture on the page feels composed and authoritative rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a subtly hand-influenced, flared finish, creating a dependable text face that still carries personality. It aims for a calm, established typographic voice that performs cleanly in continuous reading while remaining distinctive in titles.
In the sample text, the face holds together with an even color and clear word shapes, while the flared endings add subtle movement at larger sizes. Numerals match the letterforms with similarly tapered terminals and a conservative, readable design.
