A flared serif text face with gently tapered stems and subtly expanding stroke endings that read as softened, wedge-like serifs. Curves are smooth and generously open, with round forms that stay calm and even in rhythm. The lowercase shows a traditional, readable build with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a compact ear on “g,” and a softly angled, bracketed feel at joins and terminals. Capitals are proportioned for clarity rather than display drama, with restrained detailing and consistent, understated finishing across the set.
Well-suited to body copy in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also support reports and institutional materials that need a traditional but approachable tone, while remaining clean enough for headings and pull quotes at larger sizes.
The overall tone is poised and literary, with a quiet elegance that feels suited to long-form reading. Its flared endings and humanist construction add warmth and a slightly classic, editorial character without appearing ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver comfortable readability with a distinct flared-serif signature, balancing classical proportions with gentle, calligraphic tapering. It aims for an understated typographic personality that feels cultured and dependable in continuous text.
In text, the face maintains a steady color and clear word shapes, helped by open apertures and unforced curves. Numerals appear straightforward and legible with smooth, continuous strokes that match the letterforms’ tapered logic.
