A slender serif with tapered, flaring terminals and a gently modulated stroke that feels drawn rather than rigidly constructed. Serifs are small and splayed, with softened joins and subtle curvature in stems that keeps the texture lively at text sizes. Round letters show slightly elliptical bowls and delicate entry/exit strokes, while diagonals and arms end in pointed, brush-like tapers. Overall spacing reads measured and even, producing a light, airy rhythm with clear letter separation.
Well-suited to editorial typography—book interiors, magazines, essays, and long-form reading—where its crisp serifs and tapered details add sophistication while maintaining clarity. It also works effectively for refined display uses such as section heads, pull quotes, cultural posters, and upscale branding where an elegant, classic voice is needed.
The tone is cultivated and literary, suggesting editorial polish and traditional sophistication without looking overly formal. Its flare and taper add a quiet calligraphic warmth that feels personable, making it suitable for narratives, cultural content, and tasteful branding.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif readability with expressive flared terminals, offering a graceful, slightly calligraphic texture that elevates both text and display settings.
Capitals present as tall and composed, with restrained ornament and tidy proportions; the lowercase maintains a readable, conventional skeleton with just enough terminal shaping to add character. Numerals are similarly refined, with thin curves and elegant tapers that match the text color of the letters.
