A refined serif with gently flared stems and softly bracketed serifs that broaden into the terminals rather than ending in blunt slabs. Stroke modulation is moderate, giving the letters a subtle calligraphic tension while keeping the overall color even and readable. Proportions feel balanced and slightly generous in the rounds, with open counters and clean interior spaces that help the shapes stay clear in text. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the joins in letters like n, m, and h are crisp, producing a steady rhythm across mixed-case settings.
It suits long-form reading such as books and essays, where the open counters and measured modulation support comfortable texture. The distinctive flare and serif shaping also work well for editorial headlines, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, polished voice.
The font conveys a composed, traditional tone—bookish and editorial—without feeling overly ornamental. Its flared detailing adds a quiet warmth and sophistication, suggesting heritage and craft while remaining restrained and practical.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with subtly expressive, flared finishing, creating a typeface that feels established and literary while maintaining clarity in continuous text.
Uppercase forms read stately and well-paced, with rounded letters (C, G, O, Q) showing smooth, continuous curves. Numerals appear straightforward and text-friendly, aligning visually with the serif detailing and moderate modulation seen in the letters.
