A serif typeface with gently flared stroke endings and subtle, calligraphic modulation that gives the letters a softly sculpted profile. The proportions feel balanced and readable, with open counters and a steady rhythm across both cases. Serifs are tapered and bracketed rather than abrupt, and many joins show a slight swell that adds warmth without becoming decorative. Numerals follow the same lively, slightly tapered logic, keeping the texture consistent in text.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form reading, and magazine layouts where a warm serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for branding and headline settings that benefit from a classic voice with distinctive flared terminals, and it can carry short passages or pull quotes with a polished, literary feel.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a quiet elegance that feels approachable rather than formal. Its flared details and mild irregularity suggest an editorial, human touch—refined, but not sterile—suited to traditional and cultural contexts.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a more hand-shaped, flared-stem character. It aims to provide a refined text face that remains expressive in larger sizes through tapered terminals and gentle stroke swelling.
In the sample text, the face maintains an even paragraph color while still showing crisp character in display sizes. The italic is not shown, but the roman includes several subtly angled terminals and gently tapered diagonals that add motion, especially in letters like A, K, V, W, and y.
