A flared serif with gently tapered stems that broaden into subtly splayed, bracketed endings, giving the letterforms a soft, calligraphic finish rather than crisp slab-like terminals. Strokes show a moderate, readable contrast with rounded joins and open counters, producing an even page color in text. The capitals feel classical and slightly condensed in their curves, while the lowercase has a lively rhythm with clear, simple forms (single-storey a and g) and a slightly angled, organic stress. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with curved, flowing shapes that match the text tone.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional yet personable serif is desired. The distinctive flared terminals also help it stand out in headings, pull quotes, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a refined, humanist voice.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, with a calm, human warmth. Its flared endings and gentle modulation add a subtle historical flavor that reads as editorial and literary rather than corporate or technical.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif structure with subtly calligraphic flaring, aiming for a text face that remains comfortable at small sizes while offering a recognizable, warm personality in larger settings.
Spacing appears comfortable and text-friendly, with generous apertures and smooth curves that keep words from clumping. The design leans on soft stroke endings and rounded transitions to maintain legibility while still feeling expressive in display sizes.
