A crisp serif with high contrast between thick verticals and hairline joins, featuring tapered, flared terminals that soften stroke endings without turning into slabs. The proportions feel bookish and traditional, with generous inner counters and a measured rhythm that stays clear at text sizes. Serifs are finely shaped and generally bracketed, while curves (notably in C, G, O, and e) are smooth and open, giving the face an elegant, lightly drawn presence.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its open counters and controlled contrast help maintain clarity. It also works effectively for magazine typography, cultural institutions, and refined branding applications, and can bring a formal, polished voice to invitations or announcements when set with ample spacing.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting formality without heaviness. Its airy construction and delicate hairlines read as calm and composed, evoking editorial polish and a quietly classic sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional reading experience with a contemporary crispness—combining classic serif structure with flared, tapered terminals to add elegance and texture while keeping the page color light.
Uppercase forms are steady and stately with clean, tapered finishes, while the lowercase introduces a slightly more calligraphic feel through subtle modulation and flaring at terminals. Numerals follow the same light, elegant logic, with clear shapes and restrained ornamentation that keeps them consistent alongside text.
