A right-leaning serif with visibly tapered strokes that broaden into flared, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms show a calligraphic construction: curved joins, subtly modulated stroke widths, and bracketed transitions where stems meet serifs. Uppercase shapes are sturdy and slightly wide, while the lowercase has rounded bowls and a softly lively rhythm, with single-storey forms and gently swelling curves that keep the texture dark yet readable.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where character and emphasis matter. It can work on book covers, cultural posters, and branding that wants a classic feel with a human, calligraphic edge; for longer passages it will be most comfortable at larger text sizes with generous spacing.
The overall tone feels warm and literary, blending traditional bookish cues with an expressive, handwritten energy. Its italic slant and flared endings give it a personable, slightly dramatic voice suited to storytelling and editorial emphasis rather than a purely neutral setting.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif structure with flared, pen-like stroke endings to produce a distinctive, expressive reading voice. It aims for a classic impression while maintaining motion and warmth through tapered strokes and lively curves.
Counters are moderately open for a display-leaning serif, and the flared terminals create a distinctive sparkle along baselines and ascenders. Numerals follow the same tapered, calligraphic logic, helping headlines and short figures feel cohesive with text.
