This typeface is a flared serif with gently widening stroke endings and subtle, bracketed terminals that read more as calligraphic flare than hard, rectangular serifs. Curves are smooth and fairly open, with moderate apertures and a calm, even rhythm in text. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow in presence, with pointed forms on A and W and restrained detailing elsewhere. Lowercase shows traditional proportions with a two-storey g, a modestly sloped ear, and a q with a distinct descending tail; joins and terminals remain soft rather than sharply cut. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel with varying heights and pronounced curves, matching the organic flare of the letters.
It suits continuous reading in books and editorial layouts, where its steady rhythm and open forms support clarity. The dignified capitals and distinctive flare also work well for magazine headlines, institutional materials, and brand identities that want a traditional, cultivated voice.
Overall, the font conveys a composed, bookish tone—formal without being severe. The flared endings and gentle modulation add warmth and a faintly classical, editorial character that suggests tradition, care, and readability.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a softer, flared terminal treatment, offering a refined text face that retains personality at display sizes. Its details prioritize a smooth reading texture while adding a crafted, slightly calligraphic finish to strokes.
In the sample text, spacing and counters stay generous, helping long lines remain clear. The design’s defining signature is the consistent flare at stroke ends, which gives both headings and paragraph text a subtly crafted, engraved-like finish without feeling brittle.
