A delicate serif with subtly flared terminals that broaden gently at stroke ends, giving the outlines a softly calligraphic feel rather than sharp, bracketed serifs. Strokes are slender and even, with smooth curves and open counters that keep the texture light on the page. Proportions are balanced and fairly traditional, with round forms (C, O) drawn generously and capitals showing quiet modulation through tapered joins and restrained finials. Lowercase forms stay clean and readable, with simple, compact bowls and a single‑storey a; overall spacing reads open and unforced in text.
Well suited to editorial layouts, literary and cultural publishing, and other long-form settings where a light, refined text color is desired. It can also work for invitations, packaging, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a poised, classical voice and subtle calligraphic warmth.
The tone is elegant and bookish, conveying a composed, slightly old‑world refinement without feeling ornate. Its light color and gentle flaring add a graceful, editorial sensibility suited to sophisticated, calm typography.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on classical serif typography by using flared stroke endings and delicate construction to create elegance and readability without heavy contrast or ornament. The goal appears to be an airy, composed texture that remains distinctive through gentle terminal shaping.
The design leans on soft tapering and flare for character, producing a smooth rhythm in continuous text and a crisp, understated presence in display sizes. Numerals appear similarly light and formal, aligning with the restrained, classical impression of the letters.
