A low-contrast serif with gently flared stroke endings and softly sculpted joins. Stems transition into tapered, wedge-like terminals rather than sharp bracketed serifs, giving the outlines a subtly calligraphic, carved feel. Curves are smooth and generous, counters are open, and round letters stay broadly circular; diagonals are steady and clean. The lowercase shows a straightforward, readable build with rounded shoulders and uncluttered forms, while the figures are clear and evenly weighted, with a slightly stylized, typographic finish.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine layouts, book jackets, and publishing where a refined serif texture is desired. The distinctive flared terminals also make it effective for branding, display headlines, and premium packaging that needs an elegant but contemporary voice.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, balancing classical serif cues with a modern, understated restraint. Its flared endings add a touch of sophistication and warmth without becoming ornate, making the texture feel composed and confident.
Likely designed to provide a modern reading serif with a characteristic flared finish—adding personality and craft while maintaining a stable, legible text rhythm. The shapes aim for versatility: distinctive enough for titles, yet calm and coherent in continuous setting.
The rhythm in text is even and airy, with consistent stroke modulation that stays quiet across sizes. Distinctive flaring at terminals gives headers a recognizable signature while keeping paragraph color smooth and controlled.
