A flared-serif text face with gently widening stroke terminals and subtly bracketed, sculpted serifs. The letterforms are wide-set with generous horizontal proportions and open counters, creating an airy texture even at large sizes. Contrast is moderate, with smooth transitions between thick and thin strokes and a slightly calligraphic modulation visible in curved forms. The lowercase shows a traditional, readable construction with a two-storey “a” and “g,” sturdy verticals, and rounded bowls that keep the rhythm even across words.
Well-suited to editorial design, book interiors, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice and comfortable word shapes are desired. The broad proportions and crisp, flared finishing also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a refined, traditional presence.
The overall tone is classical and composed, evoking book typography and institutional print. Its wide stance and flared endings add a dignified, slightly stately character without feeling ornamental. The result reads as confident and literary, suited to content that aims for authority and permanence.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a distinctive flared-terminal signature, offering a recognizable silhouette while preserving a calm, even typographic color. Its proportions suggest a focus on clarity and gravitas in both display and extended reading contexts.
Curves terminate with softened, flaring finishes rather than sharp wedges, which helps maintain a smooth, flowing edge in running text. Capitals appear particularly broad and stable, and the numerals share the same moderated contrast and traditional proportions, supporting consistent text-and-figure color.
