A text-oriented serif with gently flared terminals and subtly bracketed serifs that give strokes a softly expanding finish. Proportions are balanced and fairly traditional, with round capitals and a steady, even rhythm across the alphabet. Curves are smooth and generous, counters are open, and joins feel slightly calligraphic without becoming ornate. Numerals are clear and conventional, matching the letterforms with the same restrained flare and quiet sturdiness.
Well suited to book and magazine typography, essays, and other longform reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support understated branding—especially for cultural, academic, or heritage-leaning contexts—where warmth and credibility matter.
The overall tone is classical and literary, projecting calm authority rather than sharp modernity. The flared endings add warmth and a hand-touched refinement, suggesting editorial seriousness with a welcoming feel.
The design appears intended to deliver comfortable readability with a classic serif structure, differentiated by gentle flaring at stroke ends to add character without sacrificing neutrality. It aims for an editorial workhorse feel with a slightly handcrafted finish.
In continuous text the spacing reads even and the shapes keep their clarity, with capital forms that feel dignified and a lowercase that stays straightforward and legible. The flare is consistent enough to register as a defining trait while remaining understated.
