A serif typeface with subtly flared stroke endings and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with tapered joins and bracketed, wedge-like terminals that broaden into the serifs rather than ending abruptly. Proportions are fairly open with rounded bowls and smooth curves; counters stay clear in text, while capitals keep a calm, even stance. The lowercase balances straightforward, readable forms with a few more stylized details such as gently curved shoulders and softly sharpened terminals.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired, and it also performs well for display sizes in magazine headings and sophisticated branding. The distinctive flared terminals can add character to packaging and identity work while remaining legible in paragraph settings.
The overall tone is polished and literary, leaning toward an elegant, bookish classicism rather than overt ornament. Its flared endings and tapered strokes add a quiet sense of craft and ceremony, making it feel formal without becoming stiff.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif readability with a more contemporary flared, calligraphic finish—providing an elegant text face that carries a recognizable personality in headings and a composed, even color in running copy.
In the sample text, the rhythm reads smooth and continuous, with terminals that consistently soften the line endings and prevent a harsh texture. Numerals appear lining and proportionally consistent with the capitals, with rounded forms that echo the typeface’s curved bowls and tapered finishing strokes.
