A low-contrast serif with gently flared stroke endings and a softly sculpted, calligraphic undertone. Strokes remain largely even in weight, while terminals broaden into subtle wedges that read as refined serifs rather than slabs. Curves are round and open, joins are smooth, and the overall silhouette is slightly expansive, giving letters generous interior space and an unhurried rhythm. Numerals follow the same quiet, flared finish and maintain a clear, traditional text-face structure.
It suits book and magazine typography, long-form editorial layouts, and front-matter or chapter titling where a calm, refined serif texture is desired. The broad, open forms and controlled contrast also make it effective for identity work, cultural institutions, and headlines that need a classic voice without heavy ornament.
The tone is classic and literary, with a restrained elegance that feels suitable for traditional editorial settings. The flared endings add a touch of humanist warmth, keeping it from feeling sterile while still reading as formal and composed.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with subtle, flared finishing that adds character and softness to the text color. It aims for a dependable, versatile tone—distinctive enough for titles and branding, yet disciplined enough for sustained reading.
Uppercase forms feel steady and monumental, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and readability through open apertures and measured spacing. The flaring is consistent across straight and curved strokes, creating a cohesive texture in continuous text and a polished presence at display sizes.
