A serif text face with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that broaden into the terminals rather than stopping abruptly. Proportions read slightly expansive, with generous bowls and open counters that keep the texture breathable in both uppercase and lowercase. Strokes show moderated contrast, and many joins and terminals carry a subtle calligraphic taper that rounds off corners without becoming soft or blobby. The letterforms feel steady and upright, with clear, traditional construction and consistent rhythm across the alphabet and figures.
This font fits editorial settings such as magazines, journals, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works well for display sizes—titles, chapter heads, and brand marks—where the flared terminals and confident proportions can read as refined and authoritative.
The overall tone is classic and composed, projecting a bookish authority without looking overly ornate. Its flared finishing gives it a slightly humanist, crafted character that feels established and trustworthy—well suited to serious, editorial communication.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional serif conventions with a subtly calligraphic, flared finishing to add warmth and presence. It aims for versatility across text and display by combining open, readable forms with a distinctive terminal treatment that gives a recognizable texture on the page.
Capitals present sturdy, traditional silhouettes with confident horizontals and well-contained apertures, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open shapes and straightforward, readable forms. Numerals appear sturdy and proportional, matching the text weight and contrast so they sit comfortably in running copy.
