A serif typeface with gently flared strokes and bracketed terminals that broaden into crisp, wedge-like endings rather than blunt slabs. Strokes show low contrast with smooth, calligraphic modulation, producing a steady texture in text. Proportions are balanced and moderately open, with rounded forms (C, O) kept controlled and even. The lowercase has a typical, readable x-height with sturdy verticals and softly shaped joins, while numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, classical rhythm.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a calm, traditional serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, cultural branding, and institutional materials that benefit from a classic, crafted presence without high-contrast delicacy.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, leaning toward an editorial, literary feel. Its flared endings add a quiet sense of craft and heritage without becoming ornate, giving text a confident, slightly formal voice.
Likely designed to deliver a readable serif with a subtle flared character—combining familiar, classical proportions with gently shaped terminals to create a distinctive yet versatile text-and-display voice.
In the sample text, the font maintains clear word shapes and an even color at larger sizes, with terminals and serifs providing a subtle sparkle along baselines and caps. The presence of flaring at key stroke endings gives it a distinctive identity compared to purely transitional or geometric serifs.
