A flared serif text face with gently tapered strokes that swell into wedge-like terminals, giving stems a subtly calligraphic, chiseled finish. Proportions are moderately open with a steady, readable rhythm; rounds are smooth and slightly organic rather than strictly geometric. Serifs are integrated and often bracketed, with evident flare on verticals and diagonals, producing a soft, sculpted edge instead of crisp hairlines. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with modest x-height, clear bowls and counters, and lively details in joins and terminals; numerals appear oldstyle-leaning in their curving, text-oriented shapes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired but with a softer, more tactile edge. It can also support identity and packaging work that benefits from a cultured, traditional tone without feeling overly rigid.
The overall tone feels bookish and time-tested, suggesting literary and editorial settings rather than overt display. Its flared terminals add warmth and a handcrafted impression, balancing formality with approachability.
The design appears intended to merge traditional serif readability with flared, tool-like stroke endings, creating a text-forward face that feels crafted and slightly historical. It prioritizes a steady page texture while using taper and flare to add personality and recognizable forms.
In the sample text, spacing and color hold together well at larger text sizes, with distinctive capitals and a slightly expressive italic-like energy even in the upright forms. Diagonals and arms (notably in letters like K, R, and Z) show confident tapering that reinforces the carved, pen-informed character.
