A flared serif with gently tapering stems that broaden into wedge-like terminals and subtly bracketed joins. The letterforms keep a steady, low-contrast rhythm while showing a calligraphic influence in the way curves meet stems and in the slightly sharpened finishing strokes. Capitals are sturdy and traditional with crisp arms and spurs, while lowercase forms are open and readable, with round bowls and compact, well-contained counters. Numerals follow the same flare-and-taper logic, giving figures a cohesive, bookish texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a calm, traditional color is desirable, while still offering enough character for chapter titles and pull quotes. It can also serve in branding and packaging that aims for heritage, craft, or institutional credibility without drifting into heavy ornament.
The overall tone feels classical and literary, with a quiet elegance that reads as traditional rather than showy. Its flared endings add a touch of hand-drawn warmth, lending authority without becoming rigid or severe.
Likely designed to blend familiar serif proportions with flared, calligraphic terminals to improve warmth and distinctiveness while preserving a steady, readable rhythm for text and mixed-size typography.
Terminals often resolve into pointed or beaked tips, which adds crispness at display sizes and a distinctive silhouette in headings. The texture stays even across the alphabet, and the flare is consistent enough to feel intentional and systematic rather than decorative.
