A lightly sheared serif with gently flaring terminals and subtle bracketed joins that soften the transitions into strokes. Forms are wide and open, with generous counters and a smooth, continuous rhythm; curves stay clean and controlled while straighter strokes remain crisp without feeling rigid. Serifs read more as tapered, brush-like endings than flat slabs, and the overall texture stays even and calm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a light, spacious texture helps readability while retaining character. It also fits refined branding and packaging that benefits from an elegant, flared-serif voice, and can work for headings and pull quotes when set with ample tracking and leading.
The tone is cultured and quiet, balancing contemporary polish with a bookish, humanist warmth. Its understated motion and soft flare give it a poised, editorial feel rather than a loud display personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern serif with calligraphic nuance—using gentle flare and a consistent rightward slant to add movement while keeping the overall color smooth and composed. It prioritizes openness and grace for text-forward applications that want sophistication without overt ornament.
Capitals present a restrained, classical skeleton with rounded bowls and a measured, slightly calligraphic taper at terminals. Lowercase maintains clarity through open apertures and smooth joins, and the numerals appear similarly airy and refined, supporting text settings without adding heaviness.
