A delicate serif with subtly flared stroke endings and a gently calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast, with thin hairlines and slightly fuller verticals that broaden into tapered, bracket-like terminals rather than blunt serifs. Curves are open and smooth, counters are generous, and the overall texture stays light and even while retaining crisp entry/exit strokes. Capitals feel composed and formal, while the lowercase maintains a readable, bookish flow with soft joins and slender ascenders.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial, and magazine layouts where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also work for restrained branding, invitations, and headlines that benefit from a classical, elegant feel, especially when paired with ample spacing and clean margins.
The tone is classical and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and cultured editorial work rather than overt display. Its lightness and flared finishing give it a graceful, slightly old-style warmth—polished and reserved, with a hint of pen-drawn elegance.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with a lighter, more graceful finish, using flared terminals to add character and historical resonance without heavy ornament. The intent appears to balance readability and sophistication, giving text a calm, cultivated presence.
Round letters (like O/C) read clean and balanced, while diagonals (V/W/X) stay sharp without becoming aggressive. Numerals appear lining and straightforward, matching the same light, refined structure as the letters, which helps keep mixed text looking consistent.
