A flared serif with calligraphic construction and gently modulated strokes. Stems broaden into wedge-like, bracketed terminals rather than crisp slabs, giving contours a sculpted, slightly handwritten feel. The letters show a subtle reverse-lean and a lively baseline rhythm, with rounded bowls and open counters that keep text from feeling rigid. Uppercase forms are stately and stable, while lowercase shows more movement in joins and terminals; numerals follow the same flared, oldstyle-inflected logic for a cohesive texture.
Well suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a warm, traditional serif texture is desired. The distinctive reverse-lean and flared terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and branding that aims for heritage and craft rather than strict modern neutrality.
The overall tone is bookish and human, suggesting traditional printing with a slightly expressive, crafted edge. It feels refined without becoming formal or cold, and the reverse-lean adds a distinctive, gently unconventional voice. The texture reads as confident and classic, suited to content with historical, cultural, or editorial weight.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic, calligraphy-influenced serif forms with flared terminals and a subtle reverse-italic posture, balancing readability with a memorable silhouette. Its construction prioritizes a lively rhythm and a literary tone that stands out in display while remaining comfortable for text.
In text, the design builds a dark, even color with noticeable but not harsh contrast, and the flared endings create a soft sparkle at larger sizes. The reverse-lean is consistent enough to be a defining trait, giving headings extra character while remaining readable in paragraphs.
