A contemporary serif with gently flared stroke endings and soft, bracketed serifs that give the outlines a subtly sculpted feel. The letterforms are broad and open, with rounded bowls, smooth curves, and a steady, even rhythm across text. Details remain restrained: terminals tend toward modest wedges and slight flares rather than sharp hairlines, and counters and apertures stay comfortably open for clear word shapes. Numerals echo the same measured construction, with clean curves and unobtrusive finishing strokes.
Well suited to editorial typography where a calm, well-paced texture is important—books, longform articles, and magazine layouts. The broad proportions also make it effective for refined headlines, pull quotes, and brand systems that want a classic serif voice with a subtle contemporary edge.
The overall tone is quietly elegant and literary, balancing traditional serif cues with a slightly modern, understated finish. It reads as composed and trustworthy rather than decorative, with enough character in the flared endings to feel crafted without calling attention to itself.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, text-forward serif with understated personality, using gentle flaring and bracketed serifs to add warmth and craft while keeping the overall color even and the reading rhythm stable.
In the text sample, the wide set and open forms create a relaxed horizontal flow, especially in round letters like o, e, and c. The capitals maintain a stately presence while staying consistent in weight and detail with the lowercase, supporting smooth transitions between headline and running text.
