This serif shows gently flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that feel drawn rather than mechanically bracketed. Curves are smooth and rounded, with moderate modulation between thick and thin strokes and a steady, even rhythm across words. Proportions are balanced with comfortable spacing and open counters; the lowercase has a readable, text-oriented build with modest extenders. Numerals follow the same restrained, tapered logic, keeping a consistent color in running text.
It suits book typography and longform editorial settings where a refined serif texture and comfortable spacing support sustained reading. The crisp caps and controlled modulation also make it effective for magazine heads, pull quotes, and understated branding that benefits from a polished, literary voice.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, leaning literary and editorial rather than loud or decorative. Its softened flares and measured contrast give it a quiet sophistication that reads as modern-classic, suitable for content that wants to feel considered and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary reading serif with a distinctive flared finish—adding character and warmth without sacrificing clarity. It aims for a balanced page color and a calm, editorial presence across both display sizes and paragraph text.
Round letters show a clean, continuous curvature, while diagonals and joins end in subtle, pointed flares that add a slight calligraphic finish. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright with consistent stroke behavior from caps through lowercase and figures.
