A low-contrast serif with subtly flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs that widen out from the stems rather than ending in blunt slabs. Proportions feel generous and slightly expanded, with open counters and smooth, rounded bowls that keep the rhythm airy in text. Curves are calm and continuous, while joins and diagonals stay crisp; the overall texture is even and readable without sharp stroke modulation. Numerals are clear and sturdy, matching the same quiet, slightly calligraphic shaping seen in the letters.
Well suited to editorial design where a refined serif texture is desired—magazines, essays, and long-form reading. It can also support elegant headlines and subheads, as the wide proportions and open forms keep large text smooth and confident. For branding, it communicates a traditional-but-modern sensibility, especially for cultural, publishing, or boutique contexts.
The tone is classic and editorial, projecting a measured, cultivated voice rather than a purely neutral one. Its gentle flaring and soft bracket transitions add warmth and a hint of tradition, giving text a bookish, literary character that still feels contemporary and composed.
The design appears intended to blend comfortable text readability with a distinctive flared-serif signature. By keeping contrast restrained and forms open, it aims for dependable page performance while adding a subtle, crafted tone through its widening terminals and bracketed detailing.
In the samples, the font maintains a steady color across lines, with counters staying open and interior spaces resisting clogging at larger text sizes. The flared endings and bracketed serifs provide distinct character without becoming decorative, helping the face retain clarity in dense paragraphs.
