A flared serif with wedge-like terminals and subtly bracketed joins that give the strokes a gently calligraphic feel. Curves are full and controlled, with a steady rhythm and clean, confident outlines. The capitals are stately and moderately wide, while the lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with rounded bowls and clear counters. Numerals follow the same serifed, slightly flared logic, reading firmly and evenly at text sizes.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines, mastheads, and brand marks that benefit from a classic, authoritative tone and a subtly handcrafted finish.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, projecting credibility and quiet warmth rather than sharp modernity. Its flared endings and measured contrast add a crafted, humanistic voice that feels familiar and established.
Designed to blend classical serif proportions with flared, wedge-like terminals for a more human, slightly calligraphic feel. The intent appears to be a versatile serif that remains readable in text while offering distinctive character for titles and identity work.
Diagonal strokes show a slightly broadened finish that reinforces the flared character without becoming heavy. The shapes stay consistent across upper- and lowercase, creating an even texture in paragraphs and a dignified presence in display settings.
