A flared serif text face with gently tapered stems that broaden into soft, wedge-like endings. Letterforms show moderate stroke modulation and a subtly calligraphic rhythm, with rounded joins and open apertures that keep the texture clear at reading sizes. The capitals are steady and understated, while the lowercase has a lively, slightly organic movement; details like the ear on “g” and the shaped terminals on “a,” “c,” and “t” reinforce the hand-informed construction. Figures follow the same tapered logic, with smooth curves and restrained contrast for an even color in paragraphs.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a warm, classical voice is desired. It can also support branding, packaging, and headlines that benefit from a refined, humanist serif with distinctive flared terminals.
The overall tone is cultured and approachable—traditional without feeling rigid. Its flared endings and gentle modulation add warmth and a quiet sophistication, suggesting editorial seriousness with a human touch.
The design appears intended to bridge classic serif readability with a more tactile, humanist finish. By using flared stroke endings and moderate modulation, it aims for comfortable text performance while maintaining a recognizable, characterful silhouette.
Spacing appears comfortable and text-friendly, producing a calm, even paragraph color. The design avoids sharp, brittle serifs in favor of softened, expanding terminals, which lends a slightly inscribed or pen-drawn character in both display lines and continuous text.
