A flared serif with gently tapered stems that swell into soft, wedge-like terminals, producing a subtly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are understated and often bracketed into the main strokes rather than sharply chiseled, while curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) feel broad and smoothly drawn. Capitals are moderately proportioned with crisp apexes and controlled stroke modulation; lowercase shows a compact, readable build with a two-storey a and g, rounded bowls, and slightly lively stroke endings that keep the texture from feeling rigid. Numerals carry the same tapered, old-style sensibility, with open counters and rounded joins that maintain an even, text-friendly color.
Well-suited to long-form reading in editorial and book contexts where a warm serif texture is desirable. It also performs convincingly for magazines, essays, and cultural or academic materials, and can add a classical voice to headings and identity work when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, combining formality with an approachable warmth. Its flared terminals and gentle modulation suggest humanist influence, giving it a cultured, slightly historical feel without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to bridge classical serif tradition with a more organic, pen-influenced finish, using flared stroke endings to add character while preserving calm readability in paragraphs.
The typeface maintains consistent flare behavior across straight and curved strokes, creating a cohesive sparkle in larger sizes while still forming a steady paragraph texture. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are clean and confident, and the punctuation and spacing in the sample text read as balanced rather than tight or condensed.
