This serif face combines slender stems with gently modulated stroke contrast and bracketed, slightly flared terminals. Serifs are compact and softly curved rather than blocky, giving the letters a carved, calligraphic feel. Curves are generous and the overall rhythm is airy, with noticeable variation in glyph widths—especially in the round letters and the wide capitals like M and W. Numerals follow the same tapered, old-style construction, staying consistent in tone with the text forms.
Well suited to editorial typography, book covers, and cultured branding where a classic serif voice is desired. It performs best in headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium passages where its tapered details and bracketed serifs can remain clear without becoming overly delicate.
The tone reads literary and slightly whimsical, with a classic, bookish character that feels more humanist than mechanical. Its delicate serifs and lively curves suggest refinement and tradition, while small idiosyncrasies in terminals add a gentle, storybook warmth.
The design appears intended to evoke a traditional, literary serif with subtle decorative refinement—balancing readability with a lightly stylized, calligraphic finish for use in elegant display and editorial settings.
In the text sample, the face maintains a smooth reading texture at display-to-text sizes, though the thin hairlines and crisp serifs give it a more refined look than a rugged one. The italic is not shown; all examples appear in the same upright style.
