A compact serif with gently flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that read as softly carved rather than sharply cut. Strokes are largely even, with modest modulation and rounded joins that keep counters open and forms sturdy. Capitals feel tall and measured, while lowercase shows a steady rhythm with slightly narrowed, vertically oriented shapes; terminals often finish with a subtle swell instead of a crisp hairline. Numerals and punctuation share the same calm, bookish construction, maintaining consistent color and spacing in text.
Well suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an even texture and traditional serif cues support comfortable scanning. It also works for literary or academic titling, invitations, and identity systems that want a classic voice with a subtle flared, crafted finish.
The overall tone is traditional and scholarly, with a restrained elegance that suggests printed literature and academic settings. Flared endings add a faint calligraphic warmth, keeping the texture from feeling mechanical while still remaining formal and composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, text-friendly serif with a quiet personality boost from flared terminals—bridging conventional old-style readability with a gently expressive, engraved-like finish for titles and refined typography.
In running text the face produces a stable, even gray with clear word shapes, and the flared terminals become more noticeable at larger sizes where the sculpted finishing details can read as a display accent. The design balances classic serif cues with slightly softened, contemporary smoothness in curves and joins.
