A crisp serif with gently flared stroke endings and subtle bracketing that gives stems a slightly tapered, calligraphic feel without becoming overtly decorative. The contrast is moderate: verticals read darker while curves and horizontals stay comparatively light, producing a clean, airy texture in text. Proportions are on the generous side, with broad capitals, open counters, and rounded bowls; joins are smooth and the curves are carefully controlled. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with clear shapes and consistent modulation that stays readable at display sizes and in paragraphs.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine layouts where a refined serif texture is desirable. It also fits brand systems and packaging that want a premium, cultured voice without resorting to heavy ornamentation.
The overall tone is poised and literary, suggesting editorial polish rather than loud personality. It feels contemporary in its cleanliness, but with enough traditional serif structure to read as trustworthy and cultivated.
The design appears aimed at delivering a readable, elegant serif for contemporary publishing, combining traditional serif cues with restrained flaring to add warmth and distinction in both text and display settings.
In sample text, spacing and rhythm lean even and measured, creating a light, polished page color. The flared terminals add a soft, graceful finish at the ends of strokes, helping the design feel less mechanical than a strictly geometric serif.
