A flared serif with gently swelling stems and tapered terminals that read as bracketed, calligraphic endings rather than blunt slabs. Curves are broad and smooth, with open apertures and generous inner counters that keep text clear at larger sizes. The capitals feel sturdy and measured, while the lowercase shows a slightly more human rhythm with rounded shoulders and subtly varied stroke endings. Numerals follow the same logic, mixing straight spines with softened curves and understated terminal shaping for a cohesive set.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, including magazines, reports, and book-like layouts. It can also carry branding and packaging that needs a refined but approachable tone, and performs nicely for headlines and pull quotes where the flared terminals become more visible.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a warm, literary character that suggests established credibility rather than austerity. The flared terminals add a touch of craftsmanship and softness, giving it a friendly, contemporary polish while still feeling rooted in classic serif conventions.
The design appears intended to blend readability with a gently expressive, flared serif texture—capturing a traditional typographic feel while keeping forms open, rounded, and modern in rhythm. It aims for an even, composed page color with enough distinctive terminal shaping to stand out in curated text and identity work.
Text samples show even color and steady spacing, with distinctive flare at key joints and ends that helps forms stay crisp without relying on high contrast. The design’s smooth curves and open shapes make it feel comfortable in longer lines while still offering enough character for display-scale headings.
