A broad, low-contrast serif with flared stems and gently bracketed endings that feel carved rather than sharply cut. The letterforms are generously proportioned with wide rounds, open counters, and a steady, even rhythm across text. Terminals often taper into subtle wedges, and joins stay smooth and restrained, keeping the texture calm while still distinctly serifed. Numerals and capitals maintain the same expansive set and sturdy presence, reading cleanly at display sizes and remaining composed in longer lines.
Well suited to editorial typography where a traditional voice is needed with a broader, more contemporary footprint—magazine headings, book covers, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short-to-medium passages when a calm, readable texture is desired and the spacious width supports an elegant, unhurried pace.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a quiet sense of tradition and authority. Its wide stance and softened, flared details lend warmth and approachability, suggesting bookish sophistication rather than strict formality.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif credibility with a distinctive flared construction, creating a recognizable texture that feels both familiar and subtly stylized. Its proportions and restrained detailing suggest a focus on confident display and editorial settings while staying legible and controlled in text.
In the sample text, the wide set creates airy word shapes and strong horizontal flow, while the modest contrast helps maintain consistent color across lines. The flared endings add character without producing sharp, high-contrast sparkle, which keeps the page feeling stable and composed.
