A refined serif with gently flared stroke endings that read as soft, tapering terminals rather than sharp brackets. Strokes keep a mostly even rhythm, but subtle modulation and the flare at joins and ends create a quiet, calligraphic sparkle. The forms favor round, open bowls and smooth curves, with slightly extended proportions and clear differentiation between straight stems and curved strokes. Uppercase shapes feel stately and airy, while the lowercase maintains a clean, readable texture with uncluttered joins and rounded counters; numerals follow the same restrained, classical tone.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a refined, classic voice is needed—book jackets, magazine features, cultural institutions, and premium packaging. It can also carry branding and titling effectively, especially where a warm but formal impression is desired; in longer passages, the open shapes support comfortable reading.
The overall tone is poised and literary—more bookish than corporate—balancing classic sophistication with a gentle, human warmth. Its flared details add a hint of craft and heritage, giving text a composed, slightly ceremonial feel without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif proportions through flared, calligraphy-influenced terminals, aiming for an elegant text-and-display hybrid that feels timeless yet gently distinctive.
Curves are particularly prominent and consistent across the set, producing a smooth line of text with minimal visual noise. The design’s flared endings and rounded interior spaces help keep paragraphs looking open, while still delivering a distinct serif character in display sizes.
