A serif typeface with subtly flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that feel more sculpted than mechanical. Strokes are largely even with restrained contrast, while verticals and joins widen slightly into the terminals, giving a carved, ink-trap-free solidity. The letterforms are open and well-proportioned, with rounded bowls and smooth curves; capitals read stately and stable, and the lowercase maintains a traditional rhythm with clear counters and sturdy stems. Numerals are proportionally balanced and align with the text color, with curved figures showing the same tapered, flared finishing.
Well-suited to long-form reading and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired, and it also scales nicely for headlines and pull quotes thanks to its steady structure and crisp finishing. The distinctive flared terminals can add refinement to brand identities, packaging, and institutional communications without feeling ornate.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, leaning toward bookish authority rather than decorative flourish. The flared endings add a subtle humanist warmth, producing a confident, editorial voice that feels established and trustworthy.
Likely designed to blend traditional serif conventions with a subtly flared, humanist finish that adds character while preserving a calm, readable texture. The intention appears to be versatility across editorial typography—comfortable in paragraphs, yet distinctive enough for prominent titles.
In text, the face holds an even color and steady cadence, with punctuation and mixed-case setting staying clear at display-to-text sizes. The shapes favor legibility through generous internal spaces and conservative detailing, while the flared terminals provide distinctiveness without calling attention away from content.
