This typeface is a light-to-regular serif with gently bracketed, slightly flared serifs and softly modulated strokes. Curves are round and open, with generous interior counters and a relaxed horizontal rhythm that reads as spacious and calm. Terminals often end in subtle hooks or tapered finishes, giving the outlines a mildly calligraphic feel without becoming ornate. The uppercase shows classical proportions and clear, stable geometry, while the lowercase includes traditional details such as a two-storey “g” and compact, well-contained bowls. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in personality, with varied silhouettes and smooth curves that match the text color of the letters.
It suits long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, where its open counters and restrained contrast support a steady, legible texture. It also works well for refined headlines, pull quotes, and cultural or academic materials that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, balancing formality with a human, approachable softness. It evokes editorial tradition and literary settings rather than modernist neutrality, with just enough warmth in the terminals and serifs to feel personable.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a slightly calligraphic accent—prioritizing readability and an elegant page color while adding gentle personality through tapered terminals and bracketed serifs.
In text, the light stroke weight and open apertures keep paragraphs airy, while the moderate contrast adds crispness at larger sizes. The shapes maintain a consistent, even texture across mixed-case settings, and the punctuation and spacing feel oriented toward comfortable continuous reading.
