A flared serif with gently expanding stroke terminals and softly bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than sharply cut. Strokes stay fairly even, with subtle modulation and rounded joins that keep the texture smooth in paragraphs. The capitals are stately and open, with generous interior space and calm proportions, while the lowercase shows a humanist rhythm—round letters are slightly oval, counters remain clear, and curves resolve into tapered, flaring ends. Numerals follow the same restrained, traditional construction, reading cleanly alongside text.
Well suited to book and essay typography, magazines, and other editorial systems where a calm, traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support brand identities, cultural institutions, and packaging that benefit from a refined, humanist tone and readable paragraph texture.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with a quiet warmth that reads as literary rather than ornamental. Its flared endings and soft bracketing lend an understated elegance, giving text a composed, trustworthy voice suited to long-form reading and considered branding.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif familiarity with the softer, more organic feel of flared terminals, producing a text-forward face that remains distinctive without relying on high contrast or sharp detailing.
In the sample text, spacing and letterforms create a steady, even color with clear word shapes and minimal sharpness at terminals. The flaring is present throughout but controlled, adding character without turning decorative, and helping maintain clarity at display sizes as well as in extended copy.
