A flared serif with softly tapered stems that broaden into wedge-like terminals, creating a carved, calligraphic finish. The letterforms show moderate stroke modulation and a steady, bookish rhythm, with open counters and gently rounded curves. Serifs are compact and integrated rather than slabby, and many joins and terminals feel subtly shaped, giving the outlines a slightly organic, hand-informed presence while remaining clean and consistent. Uppercase forms are stately and balanced; lowercase maintains comfortable proportions with clear ascenders/descenders and readable figures.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazines, where its moderate contrast and open shapes maintain clarity. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and titling that benefit from a classic, crafted serif texture. The distinctive flared terminals can add tasteful character to branding, programs, and formal printed materials.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting tradition and editorial seriousness without feeling overly rigid. Its flared endings and gentle modulation add warmth and a crafted character, lending a quietly expressive, old-world refinement.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional serif readability with a more artisanal, chiseled terminal treatment. By using flared stroke endings and gentle modulation, it aims to evoke historical, book-centered typography while offering a slightly more distinctive, handcrafted voice than a purely transitional text serif.
In text settings the font keeps an even color and calm spacing, with enough detail in terminals to provide personality at display sizes while still reading smoothly in paragraphs. The numerals match the serifed, tapered construction of the letters, supporting consistent typographic voice across mixed content.
