A flared serif with gently tapered strokes and softened, wedge-like terminals that broaden at the ends rather than forming sharp bracketed serifs. Curves are round and slightly organic, and the stroke modulation stays subtle, giving the letterforms a steady, even color on the page. Proportions lean slightly narrow in several capitals, while the lowercase shows a lively, hand-influenced rhythm with open bowls and modestly sized apertures. Numerals follow the same softened, slightly calligraphic construction, with rounded shapes and terminals that echo the text forms.
Well-suited to editorial design, book or long-form reading, and magazine typography where a warm serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for branding and packaging that aim for a classic, handcrafted feel, and for display settings where the flared terminals can add character without sacrificing legibility.
The overall tone feels warm and literary, with a quiet, traditional character that remains friendly rather than formal. Small irregularities in curvature and terminal shaping add a human, crafted impression, making it feel inviting and personable in continuous text.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a subtly calligraphic, humanist flavor. By relying on flared terminals and gentle shaping rather than strong contrast or sharp serifs, it aims to create a calm, approachable text face that still carries distinctive personality.
Capitals present clear, simple silhouettes with minimal ornament, while the lowercase adds more personality through asymmetry and varied stroke endings. The font’s flared terminals are especially noticeable in straight strokes (such as E, F, L, T, and t), which helps headings look distinctive without becoming decorative.
