A flared serif with tapered, calligraphic stroke modulation and gently bracketed terminals that widen into subtle flare-like endings. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with moderate ascender/descender length and a steady, readable rhythm across mixed case. Curves are smooth and slightly organic, with open apertures and counters; joins and terminals avoid blunt cuts in favor of softened, drawn-looking finishes. The capitals are stately and evenly spaced, while the lowercase maintains a consistent color with clear differentiation between similar forms.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a traditional serif texture is desired with a slightly more human, flared finish. It also works for brand identities, cultural institutions, and refined print materials like programs or invitations, especially when set at text-to-display sizes where the terminal shaping can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and cultured, evoking literary and editorial settings rather than overt display. Its flared endings and quiet modulation add warmth and humanist refinement, giving text a composed, trustworthy voice with a hint of traditional craftsmanship.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a drawn, flared-terminal character, offering a more humane alternative to sharper transitional faces. The goal seems to be comfortable readability paired with a distinctive, gently calligraphic presence.
In the sample text, the face holds up well at larger text sizes, where the flared terminals and tapering become more apparent without breaking the line’s texture. Numerals appear lining and proportionally integrated with the capitals, supporting formal text and titling contexts.
