A refined text serif with gently modulated strokes and distinct flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings rather than sharp brackets. Curves are smooth and open, with rounded bowls and a steady, even rhythm across words. Proportions lean slightly narrow with relatively long ascenders and modestly sized counters, supporting a clean vertical texture. Numerals and capitals keep a restrained, bookish presence, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open apertures and consistent spacing.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a calm, traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively in brand identities or packaging that needs a cultured, classic feel, and in formal stationery where understated elegance is preferred.
The overall tone feels literary and composed, with a classical sensibility that suggests printed page traditions rather than display theatrics. Its flared endings add a subtle warmth and hand-influenced character, giving the font a dignified but approachable voice.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, traditionally rooted serif with flared endings that add character and a gentle calligraphic influence while keeping an even, disciplined texture for continuous text.
In the sample text, the font reads smoothly at larger text sizes with a tidy baseline and stable color. The flared terminals are most noticeable on horizontal strokes and stroke endings, adding definition without creating heavy contrast or sharp, brittle details.
