A serif typeface with subtly flared stroke endings and small wedge-like serifs that give the forms a gently calligraphic finish. Strokes are mostly even with only modest modulation, and curves are broad and well-rounded, producing a steady, readable texture. Capitals feel stately and moderately wide with open counters, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike rhythm; terminals often end in angled cuts that reinforce the flared theme. Numerals are clear and fairly open, matching the text’s calm, consistent color.
It is well suited to editorial and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired, such as books, magazines, and academic publishing. The flared finishing and sturdy letterforms also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a refined, heritage-leaning tone.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, with a quiet sophistication rather than high drama. Its flared details add warmth and a slightly historical flavor, suggesting tradition and authority without feeling overly ornate.
The font appears designed to blend classic serif readability with the warmth of flared, slightly calligraphic stroke endings. Its intention seems to be a versatile text face that retains a distinctive, crafted character for editorial and brand contexts.
The design balances crisp edges with soft, expanding stroke endings, creating a distinctive silhouette at display sizes while remaining composed in running text. Round letters like O and C read generously open, and the family of angled terminals helps maintain a cohesive, crafted feel across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
