A delicate serif with subtly flared terminals that broaden toward the ends of stems, giving strokes a softly calligraphic taper rather than blunt cuts. Serifs are fine and understated, with gentle curvature and minimal bracketing, and the overall rhythm favors clean, open forms and generous interior space. Curves are smooth and controlled (notably in C, O, and S), while diagonals and joins remain crisp, producing a poised, lightly drawn texture. Numerals are similarly slender and graceful, with flowing bowls and narrow joins that keep the color light on the page.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine typography, book interiors, and literary or cultural branding where a light, refined voice is desired. It also fits invitations and elegant display lines, and can work for short-to-medium text sizes when ample spacing and high-quality rendering are available.
The font conveys a cultured, quietly luxurious tone—more lyrical than technical—balancing classic bookish mannerisms with a modern, airy restraint. Its thin, flared endings and refined curves create an impression of sophistication and calm rather than force or ruggedness.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary take on a classic serif by using delicate strokes and flared endings to achieve sophistication without heaviness. Its consistent, restrained detailing suggests a focus on polished reading texture and graceful display typography.
Uppercase proportions feel stately with relatively narrow cross-strokes and long, clean verticals, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open counters and simple, readable silhouettes. The overall impression is consistent and measured, favoring elegance and spacing over heavy stroke presence.
