A serif text face with gently flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs that give strokes a subtly tapered, calligraphic finish. Proportions are balanced with moderate apertures and open counters, producing an even, readable rhythm in continuous text. Capitals show sharp triangular apexes (notably in A and V) and smooth, rounded bowls (C, O), while curves transition cleanly into stems without abrupt joins. Numerals are traditional and text-friendly, with clear differentiation and consistent serif treatment.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. It can also serve for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from classic proportions with subtly distinctive flared detailing.
The overall tone is measured and literary, combining classic bookish authority with a slightly expressive, hand-influenced warmth. It feels formal without being austere, lending a polished, editorial character to both display lines and extended reading.
The design appears intended to deliver comfortable readability with a traditional serif voice, while using flared stroke endings to add personality and a crafted feel. It aims for a versatile, text-first presence that still reads as curated and typographically considered.
Stroke endings often broaden into small flares rather than relying on heavy slab-like feet, which keeps the texture light and lively. Diagonal strokes (V, W, X, y) remain crisp and directional, and the italic-like movement is minimal, preserving a steady, upright color across paragraphs.
