This serif features sturdy, slightly tapered main strokes that broaden into subtly flared terminals, creating a gentle, calligraphic “wedge” feeling rather than hard, flat endings. Serifs are bracketed and smoothly integrated, with rounded joins and a consistent rhythm across caps and lowercase. The capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase shows compact, well-contained bowls and clear counters; the two-storey a and g reinforce its text-oriented construction. Overall spacing reads even and comfortable, with a calm texture in paragraphs and a clean, confident silhouette in display sizes.
It suits editorial layouts, long-form reading, and book typography where a steady serif texture is desirable. The pronounced, flared terminals and confident capitals also make it effective for headlines, identity systems, and formal printed pieces that benefit from a classic voice.
The tone is traditional and bookish with a warm, editorial polish. Its flared finishing gives it a slightly human, crafted character, balancing formality with approachability.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, traditional serif with a distinctive flared finish—adding personality and warmth while maintaining a disciplined, text-friendly structure.
Curves are generously rounded and the stroke endings feel softly sculpted, which helps avoid brittleness at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same serifed, slightly calligraphic logic, supporting a cohesive typographic color across mixed text and figures.
