A delicate serif with lightly bracketed serifs, tapered strokes, and subtly flared terminals that give the letterforms an organic, hand-touched finish. Curves are generous and round (notably in C, O, and Q), while joins and stroke endings show gentle modulation rather than mechanical uniformity. The capitals feel classical and open, paired with lowercase forms that lean slightly bookish, with a single-storey a, a looped g, and a long-tailed y. Figures are oldstyle-like in feel, with varied heights and distinctive curls and hooks, matching the font’s lively rhythm.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial features, and longer quotations where a softer, more characterful serif is desired. It can also work effectively for invitations, boutique branding, and packaging that benefits from an old-world, crafted tone, particularly at medium display sizes where its terminal details remain clear.
The overall tone is literary and slightly whimsical, suggesting vintage printing and storybook typography rather than strict modern editorial neutrality. Its fine weight and expressive terminals add a gentle, human warmth that reads as elegant but approachable.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with subtle calligraphic quirks, creating a refined text face that carries personality. Its tapered strokes, flared endings, and lively figures suggest a deliberate move away from strict rationalism toward a more expressive, print-inspired voice.
Spacing and rhythm appear even and readable in continuous text, while individual glyphs show small idiosyncrasies—especially in the numerals and select lowercase terminals—that make the texture feel crafted. The punctuation and shapes shown in the sample maintain the same light, calligraphic serif character without becoming overly ornate.
