A flared serif with gently swelling stems that broaden into soft, wedge-like terminals rather than sharp bracketed serifs. Curves are full and slightly irregular in a controlled way, creating a lively texture; round letters like O/C/Q show subtly organic modulation, while verticals have a faint inward tension that keeps forms compact. Capitals feel sturdy and open, with readable counters and slightly tapered joins, and the lowercase maintains an even, comfortable rhythm with rounded bowls and softly cupped endings. Numerals are straightforward and legible, matching the same flared, subtly calligraphic finishing found in the letters.
Well suited to editorial design, book interiors, and other long-form reading where a warmer serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, literary branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, approachable tone and distinctive flared terminals.
The overall tone is warm and bookish, suggesting a traditional voice with a touch of handmade character. Its soft flare and gentle shaping feel inviting rather than formal, giving text a personable, slightly storybook quality without becoming decorative.
The design appears aimed at combining traditional serif readability with the softer, more organic finishing of flared strokes. It balances familiarity and character, providing a dependable text face that still leaves a recognizable, handcrafted impression in display use.
Stroke endings frequently widen into small wedges, which adds presence at display sizes and helps hold together in text blocks. The silhouette stays calm and upright, but the slight irregularities in curvature and terminal shaping introduce a natural, human cadence across lines.
