A flared serif with gently bracketed serifs and subtly swelling stroke endings that give the outlines a hand-led, calligraphic feel. The contrast sits in a moderate range, with round letters showing soft thick–thin modulation and capitals built from sturdy verticals and tapered joins. Curves are generous and slightly organic, and spacing reads comfortable and traditional, producing an even text color with a lively rhythm. The numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and a more typographic, book-oriented texture than lining figures.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture and comfortable readability are desired. It can also support refined branding, packaging, and headline use when you want a classic voice with a slightly artisanal edge.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting warmth and credibility rather than sharp modernity. Its flared shaping adds a subtle historical character that feels human and crafted, suited to content that benefits from tradition and tactility.
The design appears intended to bridge text practicality with a distinctive flared finish—evoking traditional, calligraphy-informed serifs while maintaining a stable, contemporary production rhythm for continuous reading.
At display sizes the flaring and bracket transitions become a defining detail, while in paragraph settings the steady proportions and moderate contrast keep the page calm. The italic is not shown; the samples indicate a consistent upright construction across cases with clear differentiation between similarly shaped forms.
