A flared serif text face with smooth, gently expanding stroke endings and subtly bracketed terminals. The letterforms are built on steady, low-contrast strokes with a calm rhythm and open interior spaces, giving the alphabet a clear, readable texture. Capitals feel proportionate and slightly formal, while the lowercase shows a humanist flow with rounded bowls and straightforward, upright stems. Numerals are evenly weighted and legible, matching the text color and maintaining consistent proportions alongside letters.
Well suited to editorial layouts, books, and other long-form reading where an even rhythm and open counters help maintain clarity. It can also serve for headlines, subheads, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding where a classic serif voice with subtle character is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, combining a quiet authority with a warm, approachable texture. Its flared endings add a touch of craft and heritage without becoming ornate, creating an impression that is refined and dependable rather than showy.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, literary serif texture enhanced by understated flaring at stroke ends, balancing readability with a recognizable personality. It aims for versatility across text and display sizes while preserving a composed, traditional impression.
In running text the face produces an even, comfortable color with clear word shapes and a stable baseline. Terminals and joins stay clean at larger sizes, and the flared details remain restrained enough to support continuous reading while still providing a distinctive silhouette in headings.
