A serif text face with sculpted, flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that give the stems a subtly tapered, chiseled feel. Proportions are balanced and traditional, with open counters, moderate apertures, and a steady rhythm that reads cleanly in continuous text. The contrast is noticeable but not delicate, and the curves show controlled swelling that suggests a calligraphic influence without becoming ornate. Numerals follow the same sturdy, bookish color, with rounded forms and clear, conventional shapes.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form reading, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also work for headings and pull quotes in magazines or academic material, especially when you want a refined, slightly warm texture rather than a stark, modern one.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, conveying a calm, literary authority rather than a modern or experimental voice. Its flared details add a touch of warmth and craftsmanship, making it feel more human and traditional than a purely transitional or geometric serif.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable text serif with a distinctive flared finish—adding personality and craft while preserving conventional proportions and steady readability for extended setting.
The uppercase has a dignified presence with slightly generous spacing in display settings, while lowercase maintains a consistent texture suitable for paragraphs. Terminals and serifs are sharp enough to feel crisp, but the flaring softens the finish and keeps the texture from looking brittle.
