A flared serif with softly swelling stems and tapered, wedge-like terminals that give the strokes a subtly calligraphic cadence. The letterforms are upright and evenly weighted, with low-to-moderate stroke modulation and crisp edges that read cleanly at text sizes. Capitals are classical and generously proportioned, while the lowercase shows open counters and a steady rhythm; several glyphs (notably the curved letters) finish with gentle flicks rather than abrupt slabs. Numerals are proportional and sit comfortably with the text, matching the font’s restrained contrast and flared endings.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and other long-form reading where an even typographic color and classical structure are desired. It can also support upscale branding, headings, and pull quotes when a traditional serif voice with a subtly crafted finish is needed.
The overall tone is bookish and composed, combining traditional serif authority with a slightly human, hand-influenced warmth. It feels refined without becoming overly delicate, projecting a calm, editorial seriousness suitable for long-form reading.
The design appears intended to bridge classic serif conventions with flared, gently tapered stroke endings, creating a readable text face that feels traditional yet slightly artisanal. Its controlled modulation and open shapes suggest an emphasis on comfortable continuous reading alongside a polished, publication-ready presence.
Curved forms show consistent flare behavior at terminals, and the design avoids sharp, high-contrast hairlines, keeping color on the page even. The punctuation and capitals maintain a dignified presence, and the overall spacing appears balanced for paragraph setting.
