This serif shows subtly flared, wedge-like terminals that broaden toward stroke endings, giving the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. Strokes have a measured contrast with rounded joins and soft bracketed transitions into the serifs, producing an even, readable texture. Proportions lean generous with open counters and a slightly relaxed rhythm; curves are full and the overall silhouette is smooth rather than sharply angular. The numerals match the text with the same flared terminals and steady stroke modulation, maintaining consistency in mixed settings.
It fits well for book and editorial typography where a classic serif texture and comfortable readability are important. The pronounced terminal flare also makes it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and identity systems that want tradition with a slightly distinctive, handcrafted edge.
The tone is traditional and literary, with a refined warmth that feels suited to long-form reading. Its flared endings and gentle modulation add a hint of old-style craftsmanship, suggesting an established, cultured voice without becoming ornate or theatrical.
The design appears intended to blend familiar serif readability with a more expressive, flared terminal treatment, adding character without sacrificing a steady text rhythm. It aims for versatility across text and display by keeping contrast moderate and shapes open while letting the terminals provide the signature.
Spacing appears comfortable and the forms stay clear at text sizes, while the distinctive flare at terminals gives headings a quiet personality. Diacritics shown (such as the dotted i/j) are clean and unobtrusive, supporting a calm page color.
