A serif text face with subtly flared stroke endings and gently tapered stems that suggest broad-nib influence without becoming overtly calligraphic. The serifs are wedge-like and integrated into the stroke, producing soft transitions rather than sharp bracketed joins. Curves are generous and open, with moderate stroke modulation and a lively, slightly irregular rhythm that keeps the texture from feeling mechanical. Uppercase forms read sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase shows more movement in letters like a, e, g, and y, with rounded bowls and tapered terminals that help maintain clarity at text sizes. Numerals follow the same flared logic, with smooth curves and confident, readable shapes.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books and essays, and equally effective for editorial layouts where a warm, distinctive serif can carry paragraphs and subheads. The flared details also lend themselves to branding, packaging, and cultural or boutique contexts that benefit from a crafted, literary feel.
The overall tone is bookish and humane, balancing classical serif familiarity with a hand-made warmth. Its flared terminals and gentle modulation give it a refined, slightly old-world character that feels inviting rather than formal or austere.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with a subtly hand-influenced finish, using flared terminals and moderate modulation to create a readable text face with personality. It aims for a comfortable reading texture while offering enough distinctive detail to stand out in display sizes.
Spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for continuous reading, producing an even color in paragraph settings. The design shows a clear contrast between stable verticals and more animated diagonals, which adds energy in headlines while staying composed in text.
