A flared serif with gently tapered stems that widen into soft, wedge-like terminals and subtly bracketed joins. The stroke modulation feels calligraphic without becoming high-contrast, producing a steady rhythm and clear letter separation. Proportions are fairly traditional, with compact bowls and slightly lively curves; details like the ear on the lowercase g and the shaping of s and a add a humanist, hand-influenced character. Numerals follow the same tapered logic, with rounded forms and understated, sharpish finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazines, essays, and book interiors—where a refined serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and branding systems that want classic credibility with a slightly contemporary, flared finish.
The overall tone is classic and bookish with a warm, cultivated presence. Its flared endings and slightly organic modulation lend a tasteful, old-style elegance that reads as trustworthy and considered rather than cold or mechanical.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a more expressive, flared terminal treatment, creating an elegant text face that retains character at display sizes. It aims for an editorial voice: polished, legible, and quietly distinctive.
In longer text, the font maintains a consistent texture while letting distinctive terminals and tapered strokes provide subtle sparkle. The uppercase has a dignified stance suited to headings, while the lowercase stays readable and even, with personality coming through in curves and terminals rather than exaggerated contrast.
