This typeface presents a Roman serif structure with subtly flared terminals and a noticeably calligraphic modulation. Strokes stay relatively slender overall, with gentle thick–thin contrast that shows most clearly in curved letters and diagonals. Serifs are fine and tapered rather than blocky, and the joins feel clean and slightly sculpted, giving the forms a crisp, open texture. Proportions are balanced and readable, with generous counters in letters like O, e, and a, and a lively rhythm in the lowercase where bowls and shoulders stay light and uncluttered.
It suits long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classical serif voice is desired. The refined modulation and flared terminals also make it a strong choice for literary branding, cultural institutions, and elegant packaging or headlines that need a traditional but lively serif.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, evoking classic book typography and editorial refinement. The flared endings and restrained contrast add a hint of humanist warmth, keeping the voice elegant without becoming ornamental. It reads as calm, trustworthy, and slightly formal.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classical serif letterforms with a lighter, flared, calligraphic finish that adds warmth and sophistication while remaining text-friendly. Its balanced proportions and restrained detailing suggest a focus on readability paired with a distinctly refined, editorial personality.
Uppercase forms look poised and spacious, with diagonals (V, W, X, Y) showing clean tapering that reinforces the flared character. Numerals appear straightforward and legible, matching the same delicate, tapered finishing. In text, the face maintains an even color while retaining enough modulation to feel crafted rather than purely mechanical.
