A serif text face with subtly flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that create a softly sculpted rhythm. Strokes stay relatively even, with modest modulation and rounded joins that keep the forms calm and readable. Capitals are broad and steady with traditional proportions, while the lowercase shows a straightforward, text-oriented construction with open apertures and comfortably sized counters. The numerals are clear and sturdy, matching the letterforms’ restrained, bookish tone.

It also works effectively for academic or institutional materials and for refined headings or pull quotes where the flared serif character can add quiet distinction without sacrificing clarity.
