A flared serif with gently swelling stems and bracketed transitions that give the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. Stroke contrast is moderate, with rounded joins and subtly tapered terminals rather than blunt cuts. Proportions are steady and readable, with open counters and smooth curves; the lowercase shows a traditional, humanist rhythm with compact, sturdy serifs and slightly softened corners. Numerals and capitals share the same restrained flare and consistent weight distribution, producing an even, text-friendly texture.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and essays where a comfortable serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and cultural or heritage-oriented branding where a refined but approachable voice is needed.
The overall tone is literary and quietly authoritative—more warm and human than strictly formal. The flared endings and soft bracketing add a hint of craft and tradition, suggesting editorial polish without feeling austere.
Likely designed to merge classic serif readability with a more expressive, hand-informed finish. The flared terminals and moderated contrast aim to provide warmth and character while maintaining a clean, composed page color.
The flare is most noticeable on verticals and at the ends of horizontal strokes, creating a subtle wedge-like finish that reads well at both display and text sizes. Round forms stay smooth and stable, while diagonals keep a firm, balanced stance, helping headings feel substantial without becoming heavy.
