A flared serif with gently sculpted stems that broaden into wedge-like terminals, giving letters a subtly calligraphic, hand-shaped feel. Curves are smooth and generous, with moderate stroke modulation and crisp, pointed joins in diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y). Serifs read as tapered and bracketed rather than blocky, and the overall rhythm is steady and open, with rounded counters and clear, traditional proportions across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where the flared endings and moderate contrast provide texture without becoming ornate. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, cultural branding, and premium packaging, especially where a classic-but-not-generic serif tone is desired.
The tone is literary and polished, suggesting classic book typography with a slightly contemporary sharpness. Its flaring terminals add warmth and tactility, creating an inviting, quietly distinctive voice rather than a purely neutral one.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional serif conventions with a more tactile, flared finishing, adding personality and warmth while keeping the overall structure dependable for continuous text. The consistent shaping across letters suggests an emphasis on cohesive page color and an elegant, bookish presence.
The uppercase shows strong, formal presence with clean arcs and restrained detailing, while the lowercase maintains readability through open apertures and stable forms. Numerals follow the same tapered, sculpted logic, helping figures feel integrated with text rather than mechanically separate.
