A delicate serif with gently flared terminals and subtle, tapered serifs that feel drawn rather than rigidly constructed. Curves are generous and smooth, with open bowls and clear apertures; the overall rhythm is even and lightly spaced, producing an airy texture in paragraphs. Stems stay slender and consistent, while joins and transitions remain soft, giving the letterforms a calm, flowing profile rather than sharp angularity.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and other reading-focused settings where a light, refined texture is desirable. It also works nicely for literary titles, pull quotes, and formal stationery where subtle flaring and delicate serifs can add sophistication without becoming ornate.
The face reads as literary and refined, with a quiet classicism and a slightly calligraphic warmth. Its lightness and open forms create a poised, understated tone suited to elegant editorial typography rather than loud display.
Likely designed to deliver a graceful, contemporary take on classical serif forms by using gentle flaring and soft modulation to keep the page color light and comfortable. The emphasis appears to be on elegance and readability through open counters, measured proportions, and restrained detailing.
Uppercase forms feel stately and stable, with broad curves in C/O/Q and restrained detailing in E/F/T. Lowercase maintains clarity with simple, readable structures and modest terminal shaping, keeping text color light and smooth across longer lines.
