A flared serif with sturdy, slightly tapered stems that broaden into gently splayed, bracketed endings. Curves are full and open, with rounded bowls and a smooth, calligraphic transition through joins, giving the letterforms an even, flowing rhythm. Uppercase forms feel broad and stable, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation with generous apertures and softly shaped terminals; numerals follow the same warm, sculpted logic for a cohesive texture in text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired without feeling rigid. It also works effectively for branding, packaging, and display copy that benefits from a refined, slightly humanist voice and distinctive flared endings.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a quiet confidence that reads as cultured rather than ornamental. Its softened flares and rounded shaping add warmth and approachability, while the steady structure preserves a formal, editorial presence.
Likely designed to blend classical serif proportions with flared, calligraphic stroke endings to create a readable, characterful text face. The intent appears to be a dependable workhorse with a warmer, more sculpted personality than a strict transitional or modern serif.
Large sizes show crisp, sculpted stroke endings and smooth internal curves, producing a slightly “carved” impression. In paragraphs, the spacing and open counters help maintain clarity, while the flared terminals subtly animate the line without introducing sharp contrast or stark geometry.
