This serif shows subtly flared, brush-like terminals and bracketed serifs that broaden as strokes meet the ends, creating a gently sculpted silhouette. Stroke modulation is moderate, with clean, tapered joins and slightly softened curves that keep the texture even in continuous text. Proportions feel traditional with balanced capitals and steady lowercase rhythm; counters are open and the overall color reads dark and stable without looking heavy. Numerals follow the same flared logic, with smooth curves and confident, slightly calligraphic finishing strokes.
It’s a strong choice for book and editorial typography where a traditional serif texture is desired, including long-form reading, essays, and magazines. The distinctive flared finishing makes it attractive for headlines, pull quotes, and brand identities that want a classic foundation with a slightly expressive edge. It also suits formal communications such as invitations, programs, or institutional materials.
The tone is classical and literary, with a warm, humanist undercurrent from the flared endings. It feels trustworthy and composed—more bookish than flashy—while still offering a touch of personality in the terminals and curves. Overall, it conveys refinement and authority without stiffness.
The design appears intended to blend familiar, old-style readability with a more tactile, calligraphic finish, using flared stroke endings to add character while keeping the overall rhythm controlled. It aims for versatility across text and display sizes, offering a dignified voice with gentle warmth.
In paragraph settings the letterforms build a consistent vertical rhythm, and the flared terminals add a subtle sparkle at larger sizes. The capitals appear well-suited to titling, while the lowercase maintains a calm, readable flow for longer passages.
