A serif typeface with moderate stroke contrast and gently flared, bracketed serifs that broaden into the stems rather than ending as blunt slabs. Curves are round and full, while joins and terminals show subtle calligraphic shaping that adds softness to the silhouette. The rhythm is steady and text-forward, with clear counters and a slightly lively modulation across strokes that keeps paragraphs from feeling rigid. Numerals and capitals follow the same restrained, bookish construction, with sturdy verticals and controlled curves.
It performs well for editorial layouts, long-form reading, and book-style typography where a steady serif texture is desirable. In larger sizes it also supports headlines, posters, and brand identities that want a traditional tone with a touch of warmth and individuality.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional print and editorial typography without feeling overly formal. The flared endings and softened details lend warmth and a slightly handcrafted presence, giving it a composed, trustworthy voice suited to reading.
The design appears intended to balance classical serif proportions with subtly expressive, flared detailing to improve presence and maintain comfortable readability. It aims for a familiar, print-oriented voice while adding enough distinctive terminal shaping to stand apart in display settings.
Distinctive flaring on vertical stems and terminals adds character, especially in letters with strong uprights, while maintaining a consistent texture in continuous text. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright with a cohesive, conservative finish.
