A flared serif text face with gently swelling stems and tapered stroke endings that suggest a broad-pen influence. Serifs are small and bracketed, often forming wedge-like feet and beaks rather than flat slabs, giving joins a soft, carved look. The contrast is moderate and the curves are round and open, with a steady, readable rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Lowercase proportions lean traditional with a relatively short x-height and prominent ascenders, while the overall color stays even without looking mechanical.
This font is well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for literary or cultural headings and refined brand marks that benefit from a humanist, flared-serif signature.
The tone is classic and bookish, with a lightly calligraphic warmth that reads as cultured rather than decorative. It evokes traditional printing and literary settings, balancing formality with an approachable, humanist texture.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, readable serif with subtle calligraphic shaping and flared terminals, providing a distinctive texture while remaining comfortable in continuous text.
The sample text shows comfortable word shapes and clean punctuation at text sizes, with distinctive, slightly varied widths that keep lines lively. Numerals appear oldstyle (varying heights and alignments), reinforcing a traditional, text-first character.
