A serif typeface with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that create a subtle, sculpted transition into terminals. Strokes show modest contrast with a slightly calligraphic modulation, producing crisp hairlines without looking brittle. Capitals are proportioned and stately with smooth curves and controlled joins, while lowercase forms read cleanly with open counters, a two-storey “g,” and a restrained, traditional “a.” Numerals follow the same rhythm, with oldstyle-like shapes and elegant curves that feel consistent with the text color.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desirable. It can also serve display roles—titles, pull quotes, and cultured branding—where the flared terminals add personality without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking book typography and editorial tradition. Its flared details add a touch of warmth and craft, balancing formality with a human, slightly calligraphic character.
Likely intended as a versatile text serif that blends traditional proportions with subtly flared, sculptural endings to enhance warmth and rhythm on the page while preserving a formal, editorial presence.
The design maintains an even, readable texture in paragraphs, with clear differentiation between similar forms (for example, the narrow “I” versus the broader “J”). Curved letters show smooth stress and controlled overshoots, and the flare at terminals is noticeable without becoming decorative.
