A flared serif with gently swelling stems that widen into tapered, bracketed terminals, giving the letterforms a subtly calligraphic skeleton without strong stroke contrast. Capitals are sturdy and formal with clean, balanced proportions, while lowercase shows rounded bowls and open counters that keep text color even. Serifs are small-to-moderate and softly integrated rather than sharply cut, and curves transition smoothly into verticals for a calm rhythm. Numerals appear lining and straightforward, matching the text weight and carrying the same flared finishing on key strokes.
Works well for book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired with a touch of humanist softness. It also suits magazine headlines, cultural institutions, and brand systems that need a dependable, classic foundation with recognizable flared terminals.
The overall tone reads literary and editorial—serious, composed, and slightly classical—while the flared endings add warmth and a crafted feel. It suggests authority without feeling brittle, making it suitable for brands or publications aiming for a cultured, timeless voice.
Likely designed to bridge classic serif convention and a more human, hand-influenced finish, using flared stroke endings to add character while keeping an even, readable text rhythm.
In paragraph settings the texture stays consistent, with clear joins and restrained detailing that supports longer reading. The distinctive flare at stroke ends provides personality at display sizes, while remaining controlled enough for text use.
