A flared serif with gently swelling stems and tapered, wedge-like terminals that give the letterforms a subtly calligraphic finish. Serifs are present but not heavy, often bracketed into the stems, while curves stay smooth and fairly round with open counters. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and sturdy, and the lowercase shows a readable, bookish rhythm with moderate contrast expressed more through flaring and terminal shaping than strong thick–thin modulation. Numerals are clear and steady, matching the text color of the letters without drawing undue attention.
This face suits editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired without excessive contrast. It also performs well for headlines, institutional branding, and packaging that benefits from a refined, established tone.
The overall tone is classic and composed, suggesting editorial seriousness and a slightly humanist warmth. The flared endings add a crafted, heritage feel that reads as confident and established rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to bridge classic serif readability with a subtle flared, crafted character, offering a traditional voice that remains distinctive in both text and display contexts.
Text settings show even spacing and a consistent color, with terminals and serifs doing most of the stylistic work. The design remains legible at larger paragraph sizes while retaining distinctive flare details in display use.
