A delicate serif with slender stems, gently swelling joins, and subtly flared terminals that broaden into the serif endings. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, giving the outlines a carved, calligraphic feel rather than a rigid mechanical one. Round letters stay open and clean with a restrained contrast and careful modulation, while capitals are relatively tall and stately. The lowercase shows a conventional, readable structure with compact bowls and a modest x-height; numerals are similarly refined, with old-style-like curvature and thin, tapered strokes.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. It can also perform nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and premium branding or invitations that benefit from a graceful, classical voice.
The overall tone is poised and literary, leaning toward classic book typography and cultured editorial settings. Its lightness and crisp finishing details convey sophistication and calm rather than loud display energy.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional serif craftsmanship with a lighter, contemporary delicacy, balancing readability with a recognizable flared-terminal character. It aims for a polished text face that can also lend elegance to display moments without becoming ornate.
Stroke endings often taper before widening into the serif, producing a distinctive flare that adds softness to the rhythm in text. Spacing appears measured and somewhat tight, helping lines feel cohesive and polished at reading sizes while maintaining an airy color due to the light stroke weight.
