This typeface is a flared serif with gently tapered strokes that widen into subtly splayed terminals, giving stems a soft, calligraphic finish rather than sharp slab endings. Proportions are balanced and readable, with round, open bowls and counters, moderate apertures, and smooth curves that keep the texture even in continuous text. Serifs appear lightly bracketed and integrated into the strokes, with a restrained, consistent rhythm across capitals and lowercase. The numerals follow the same calm construction, staying clear and steady without becoming geometric or overly ornamental.
It suits long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a calm serif texture is needed. It can also support identity work—especially for institutions, cultural brands, and packaging—when a classic tone with a subtle hand-drawn warmth is desired.
Overall it conveys a quiet, bookish refinement—traditional without feeling stiff. The flared terminals add warmth and a hand-touched character, suggesting careful editorial typography and understated elegance rather than display drama.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif conventions with flared, calligraphic stroke endings to create a readable text face that feels slightly inscribed and human. Its restrained detailing prioritizes steady paragraph color while providing enough distinctive terminal shaping to stand apart in headings and brand typography.
In the sample text the face maintains an even color and comfortable spacing, with capitals that feel dignified and lowercase that remains friendly and accessible. The flaring at stroke ends is most apparent on verticals and diagonals, helping create a slightly carved or inscribed impression while staying practical for reading.
