A serif text face with flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that create a gentle, hand-touched finish. Letterforms are broad and open, with rounded bowls and smooth joins that keep the rhythm even and readable. Strokes stay largely consistent in weight, while terminals widen into subtle wedges that add warmth without becoming decorative. The lowercase shows sturdy, compact shapes with clear counters; the numerals are solid and traditional, with prominent curves and stable verticals.
Well-suited for editorial design, book typography, and long-form reading where a comfortable, traditional voice is desired. The distinctive flared terminals also make it effective for branding, packaging, and display settings that benefit from a classic yet personable serif texture.
The overall tone is warm and bookish, combining traditional serif familiarity with an artisanal edge from the flared terminals. It reads as approachable and slightly rustic rather than formal or high-fashion, lending a human, tactile character to headings and text alike.
The design appears intended to bridge classic serif readability with a subtle, contemporary-crafted twist, using flared endings and soft bracketing to add personality while keeping a dependable text rhythm.
The typeface maintains a steady color in paragraphs, with crisp silhouettes and confident spacing that supports continuous reading. The flared details are consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving the design a cohesive, crafted signature.
