A flared serif with gently modulated strokes and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that broaden out from the stems rather than ending in blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and generously open, with rounded bowls and steady rhythm across mixed-case text. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions with clear differentiation and readable forms; joins and terminals often finish with subtle flare that gives a lightly calligraphic edge. Numerals follow the same restrained, old-style-influenced drawing with calm, rounded shapes and consistent weight distribution.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and essays, where the open shapes and calm texture support sustained legibility. It also performs strongly for magazine typography, cultural journalism, and refined brand systems that want a classic serif voice without heavy contrast. The distinctive flared terminals can add character in headlines, subheads, and display sizes while remaining disciplined in paragraphs.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, leaning toward bookish and editorial rather than trendy or mechanistic. The flared endings add a hint of classical inscriptional character, creating a composed, authoritative voice that still feels warm and approachable in continuous reading.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif readability with an inscriptional, flared-terminal signature. It aims for a balanced, versatile text face that feels established and credible, while providing just enough stylistic detail to stand apart in editorial and branding contexts.
In text, the font maintains an even color and steady baseline, with clear punctuation and a clean, unforced presence. The flaring at stroke ends is noticeable without becoming decorative, supporting legibility while adding distinctive texture in headlines and pull quotes.
