A broad, low-contrast serif with gently flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that read more sculpted than sharp. Curves are generous and round, with open bowls and wide apertures that keep counters airy at text sizes. The capitals feel steady and architectural, while the lowercase combines compact, slightly calligraphic joins with sturdy verticals; terminals tend to taper and flare rather than end abruptly. Overall spacing and rhythm are relaxed, creating an even, readable texture with a subtly crafted, humanist finish.
Well suited to editorial typography where a comfortable, refined reading texture is needed, including magazines, essays, and book interiors at moderate sizes. The wide proportions and soft flared serifs also work effectively for brand identities, packaging, and pull quotes where a friendly classic tone is desirable.
The tone is approachable and bookish, balancing tradition with an easy, contemporary warmth. Its flared details add a quiet sense of craft and gentleness, avoiding the severity of high-contrast serifs while still feeling established and editorial.
Likely intended to reinterpret classic serif conventions through a flared, low-contrast construction that prioritizes legibility and a warm, crafted voice. The wide stance and open counters suggest an emphasis on calm readability and distinctive, polished display presence without relying on sharp contrast.
The design’s width and rounded interior shapes give headlines a calm, expansive presence, while the restrained contrast helps maintain consistency across mixed case and numerals. Serifs remain present but understated, contributing definition without adding visual noise.
