A serif text face with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed joins that soften the transitions into the serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast and a lightly calligraphic rhythm, with rounded bowls and open apertures that keep the texture airy. The uppercase is stately and balanced, while the lowercase maintains clear, readable forms; terminals often finish in a slight wedge or flare rather than a sharp slab. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and some descenders, contributing to a bookish, traditional feel.
Well-suited to book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where a refined serif with a soft, humanist texture is desired. It can also work effectively for cultural branding, invitations, and packaging that benefits from a classic voice with distinctive flared terminals.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with an understated elegance that reads as warm rather than severe. Its flared details add a hint of humanist movement, giving text a crafted, editorial character suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional serif readability with a slightly calligraphic, flared finish, producing a comfortable reading texture and a recognizable, gently expressive silhouette.
The face produces a clean, even paragraph color at larger text sizes, and the flared endings become more noticeable in display settings. Round forms (like o, e, and O) feel generous and smooth, while diagonal letters (V, W, Y) retain a crisp, formal presence.
