A flared serif with gently swelling stems that taper into sharpened terminals, giving strokes a subtly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are small and bracketed, more suggested than heavy, and many joins soften into slight curvature rather than hard corners. Bowls are round and open, with moderate modulation between thick and thin that stays even across the alphabet. Capitals feel stately with clear vertical stress, while the lowercase maintains a readable, traditional skeleton with crisp, slightly splayed endings and compact, tidy apertures.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a warm serif texture is desired. It can also handle display roles—chapter titles, pull quotes, and refined branding—especially where a lightly classical, crafted voice supports the message. The consistent rhythm and open forms help it stay composed in multi-line settings.
The overall tone is bookish and cultured, balancing formality with a human, hand-informed warmth. Its flared endings and quiet contrast lend an elegant, slightly historical flavor without feeling ornate. The face reads as confident and polished, suitable for sober but inviting typography.
The design appears intended to provide a modern, readable serif with flared, calligraphic influence—combining traditional proportions and a calm text color with distinctive tapered terminals for character. It aims to feel literary and refined while remaining practical for continuous reading.
The numerals share the same flared, tapered logic and appear clear and text-friendly, with round forms that match the letter bowls. Diacritics and punctuation shown in the sample (including ampersand and apostrophe) follow the same restrained, calligraphic detailing, keeping the texture consistent in paragraphs. In running text, the face creates an even gray with mild liveliness at stroke ends rather than high-contrast sparkle.
