A delicate serif with subtly flared terminals and tapered joins that give the strokes a gently calligraphic feel. The letterforms show moderate contrast with thin hairlines and slightly fuller curves, and the serifs read more as softened, expanding stroke endings than crisp brackets. Proportions are generously spaced and on the wide side, with open apertures and rounded bowls that keep the texture light on the page. Uppercase forms are stately and clean, while the lowercase introduces more pen-like modulation in characters such as a, e, g, and y; numerals are similarly thin and graceful with clear, open counters.
Well suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and elegant book or magazine typography where a light, refined serif texture is desired. It can also serve boutique branding, packaging, and invitation work that benefits from a classic yet airy voice, particularly at display and large text sizes.
The overall tone is poised and literary, balancing classical sophistication with a breezy, contemporary lightness. Its flared stroke endings and refined modulation suggest cultured editorial typography rather than hard, mechanical precision.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern take on a classical serif through flared endings and controlled contrast, creating a graceful, slightly calligraphic personality without becoming ornate. It prioritizes elegance and spaciousness, giving text a light, premium feel.
In text, the rhythm is even and readable at larger sizes, with distinctive shapes (notably the wide bowls and tapered horizontals) creating a recognizable voice. The light hairlines and delicate terminals imply best performance where printing/rendering is clean and sizes are not too small.
