This typeface is a flared serif with gently tapered stems that widen into subtle, bracketed stroke endings rather than crisp, rectangular serifs. The contrast is moderate, with smooth transitions and a slightly calligraphic flow that shows in the curved joins and the softly swelling terminals. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and stately, with round letters (C, O, Q) drawn broadly and evenly, while diagonals (V, W, X) remain sharp but not mechanical. The lowercase is compact and readable, with open counters, a single-storey g, a single-storey a, and a distinctive, flowing f; numerals are oldstyle-leaning in spirit with varied shapes and lively curves.
It suits editorial layouts, long-form reading, and book typography where a warm serif texture is desired. The distinctive flared details also work well for magazine headings, literary or cultural branding, and premium packaging where a classic but personable tone is beneficial.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, evoking classical printing with a gentle, human touch. Its flared endings and moderated contrast create a warm, slightly formal voice that feels more literary than corporate, and more refined than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif conventions with flared, calligraphic finishing for a softer, more human rhythm in text. It aims for comfortable readability while adding character through tapered stems and gently shaped terminals.
Spacing appears comfortable in text, with a steady rhythm and clear word shapes. The design favors smooth curves and soft joins over sharp corners, producing a cohesive texture in paragraphs while still giving capitals a dignified presence.
