A light, high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and gently swelling strokes that flare into tapered, bracketed endings rather than blunt slabs. The letterforms are open and carefully proportioned, with round bowls that stay smooth and even, and a clear, steady baseline rhythm in text. Serifs are sharp and economical, and terminals often finish in subtle wedges or hooks, giving the face a delicate, calligraphic edge while remaining clean and upright overall. Figures are similarly thin and elegant, with simple, readable forms that match the restrained stroke economy of the letters.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, and long-form reading where a refined serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for branding, invitations, and display headlines at larger sizes, where the flared stroke endings and crisp serifs can be appreciated without the hairlines feeling too delicate.
The overall tone is poised and quietly expressive—more literary and editorial than loud or decorative. Its flared details add a hint of classical influence and human warmth, while the crisp outlines keep it feeling contemporary and composed.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with subtly flared, humanist finishing, creating an elegant texture that reads smoothly while offering distinctive, tapered terminals for character.
In the grid, the capitals show a stately, understated presence with ample interior space, while the lowercase maintains an easy reading texture through consistent spacing and open counters. In the text sample, the face holds a refined color at larger sizes and shows its delicate hairlines and tapered endings most clearly in curved letters and punctuation.
