A flared serif with tapered, calligraphic stroke modulation and subtly widening terminals that give stems a sculpted, chiseled feel. Serifs read as bracketed and gently flared rather than blunt, with crisp joins and a clean, steady baseline. Uppercase forms are stately and open, with generous counters in round letters and a balanced, slightly formal rhythm; the lowercase keeps a measured texture with rounded bowls and softly tapered arms. Numerals are clear and traditional in build, matching the text forms with consistent stroke behavior and refined terminals.
Well suited to editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired with a slightly more expressive finish—books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts. It can also serve branding and packaging that benefit from a refined, literary tone, and it holds up in headlines where the flared terminals add character without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, leaning toward bookish elegance rather than rugged or industrial. Its flared finishing and measured contrast suggest a humanist influence that feels composed, articulate, and quietly distinctive on the page.
The letterforms appear designed to blend classic serif proportions with subtly flared stroke endings to add warmth and distinction. The intention seems to be a readable, dignified text face with enough calligraphic nuance to stand apart in display and editorial settings.
The design shows a consistent tapering logic across straight and curved strokes, producing a lively sparkle at larger sizes without becoming overly ornate. Curved letters maintain smooth, even rounding, while horizontals and cross-strokes stay restrained, supporting a calm reading rhythm.
