A flared serif with softly tapered terminals and gently bracketed, wedge-like serifs that grow out of the stems rather than sitting as hard slabs. Strokes show a controlled, moderate modulation, with rounded curves and smooth joins that keep the texture even in paragraph settings. Proportions are traditional and readable: capitals are stately with open bowls, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm and clear counters. Numerals follow the same understated, old-style-influenced softness, with round forms and restrained detailing.
It performs well for book typography, essays, and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. The poised capitals and distinctive flared endings also suit branding, titles, and formal collateral when you want a classic tone with a subtle, contemporary edge.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, leaning toward classic print typography rather than overtly decorative display. Its subtle flare and calm contrast add a humanist warmth, giving text an elegant, trustworthy voice suited to long-form reading.
The font appears designed to blend traditional serif readability with a more organic, calligraphy-adjacent finish, using flared terminals to soften the color of text while preserving a disciplined, typographic structure.
The design’s defining cue is the consistent flare at stroke endings—visible across caps, lowercase, and figures—which adds character without breaking the line’s continuity. Curves are generous and the interior spaces stay open, supporting clarity at text sizes while still feeling distinctive.
