A flared serif with gently swelling stems and tapered terminals that create an ink‑like, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are small and bracketed, with soft joins rather than sharp slabs, and the stroke modulation shows a subtle diagonal stress in rounded forms. Proportions are balanced and readable: caps feel moderately wide with open bowls, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation and steady spacing. Numerals follow the same flared, slightly modulated construction, keeping a cohesive texture in running text.
Well suited to editorial layouts, long‑form reading, and book typography where a classic serif texture is desired without harsh contrast. It also works effectively for cultured branding, titles, and pull quotes, offering a refined presence that remains approachable.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a warm, human touch that feels more crafted than mechanical. Its soft flaring and restrained contrast give it a composed, editorial character suited to familiar, trustworthy communication rather than loud display.
Likely designed to blend classic serif conventions with a flared, pen‑influenced finish, producing a text‑friendly face that feels contemporary in cleanliness but traditional in voice. The emphasis appears to be on comfortable readability paired with a subtly distinctive, crafted edge.
Large sizes show elegant stroke swelling and graceful curves, while the modest serifs and open apertures help the face stay legible in paragraphs. The design avoids extreme contrast, so the text color remains even and calm, with just enough modulation to feel lively.
