A very slender serif with flared terminals and tapered stroke endings that give stems a gently calligraphic, drawn quality. Serifs are small and understated, often resolving into soft wedges rather than flat slabs, and curves are smooth with a controlled, moderate stroke modulation. Proportions are on the narrow side with tall capitals, compact bowls, and crisp joins; round letters like O and Q read slightly oval, and the Q shows a distinctive sweeping tail. The lowercase keeps a traditional, bookish skeleton with a modest x-height, long ascenders, and thin, precise linking strokes that maintain a light, even rhythm in text.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and refined display use where a light, airy texture is desired. It can also support elegant invitations, cultural programs, and branding that benefits from a classical serif voice, especially at comfortable text sizes or in headings with generous spacing.
The overall tone is poised and cultured—more salon and literature than industrial or technical. Its thin, flared finishing strokes add a graceful sparkle that feels formal and slightly vintage, while remaining composed and readable.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a subtle flared, calligraphic finish, creating a light-texture face that feels literary and sophisticated. It prioritizes elegance and rhythm over heaviness, aiming for a refined reading color and tasteful display presence.
Capitals present a restrained, editorial presence, while the lowercase introduces subtle liveliness through tapered joins and small curvature details (notably in letters like a, e, g, and y). Numerals follow the same delicate construction, with open shapes and fine terminals that suit refined typographic settings.
