A serif text face with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs that give terminals a tapered, calligraphic feel. Strokes are largely even with restrained modulation, and the counters are generous, producing clear, open interior spaces in letters like C, O, and e. The proportions read slightly extended, with a steady rhythm and tidy, crisp joins; curves are smooth and the overall silhouette stays clean rather than ornate. Numerals are lining and similarly flared, with clear differentiation and solid, readable forms.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a refined, tradition-leaning character with subtle flare.
The tone feels editorial and bookish—polished, traditional, and quietly confident. The flared detailing adds a touch of humanist warmth without becoming decorative, supporting a composed, established voice.
The design appears intended to bridge classical serif conventions with a lightly calligraphic, flared finish, delivering a confident text-and-display option that reads cleanly while retaining distinctive terminal shaping.
Uppercase forms present a stable, inscriptional presence, while lowercase maintains straightforward construction and legibility in continuous text. Overall spacing appears comfortable, helping paragraphs look even and calm at display sizes in the sample.
