This serif features gently flared terminals and subtly bracketed serif-like endings that give strokes a tapered, calligraphic feel. Curves are generously drawn with open counters, while joins and shoulders stay smooth and restrained. Proportions read as traditional and bookish, with steady spacing and a calm rhythm; capitals are well-balanced and slightly stately, and the lowercase shows clear, readable forms with moderate extenders. Numerals appear proportional and elegant, matching the same tapered stroke behavior and rounded geometry.
It performs well in continuous reading for books and essays, where its open forms and steady rhythm maintain comfortable texture. The flared details also give it enough personality for magazine typography, pull quotes, and refined headlines. For branding, it can signal heritage, quality, and an editorial sensibility without appearing ornamental.
The overall tone is literary and composed, combining classic serif manners with a softer, more human touch from the flared terminals. It feels suited to cultured, editorial settings—serious without becoming severe, and refined without looking brittle.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a distinctive flared finishing that adds warmth and humanistic character. It aims for an understated voice that can carry long text while still providing a recognizable, slightly calligraphic signature in display sizes.
Round letters like O and Q emphasize the design’s smooth modulation, while diagonals in V, W, X, and Y keep crisp edges that prevent the face from feeling overly soft. The lowercase a and g are conventional and readable, supporting long-form clarity, and the overall texture stays even in paragraph setting.
