A refined serif with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than sharply cut. Curves are broad and open, with a moderate, even color and a subtle diagonal stress in rounded letters. The capitals are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows readable, traditional shapes with compact joins and clear counters. Numerals appear straightforward and text-friendly, matching the overall calm rhythm of the design.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts, where its open counters and measured texture support comfort and clarity. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that want a classic, cultivated voice with a distinctive flared finish.
The font conveys a composed, literary tone—traditional without feeling overly formal. Its flared details add a quiet warmth and a slightly old-style, print-oriented character that reads as trustworthy and cultivated.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a lightly inscriptional flavor, using flared terminals to add character while keeping the overall structure restrained and versatile for text and display contexts.
In text, spacing and rhythm feel steady, with smooth curves in forms like C, O, and e and confident diagonals in V, W, and y. Terminals and serifs avoid blunt slab qualities, instead tapering and widening in a way that suggests inscriptional influence and helps headings feel dignified without becoming ornate.
