A wide, low-contrast serif with a notably open, airy color and generous sidebearings. Strokes feel gently modulated rather than sharply contrasted, with tapered terminals and soft, bracketed serifs that broaden into subtle flares. Round letters are broad and smooth, and the overall rhythm is steady and unhurried, aided by a tall x-height and clear, open counters. The numerals and capitals share the same understated, lightly calligraphic finish, maintaining consistency without looking rigid or mechanical.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an open, sophisticated serif is desired—magazines, book interiors, and long-form pull quotes benefit from its calm rhythm. It also works nicely for headlines and brand wordmarks that want a classic, cultivated tone without heavy contrast or sharp detailing.
The tone reads refined and literary, with a quiet classicism that suggests careful typesetting rather than loud display. Its width and soft finishing details give it an elegant, slightly leisurely presence that feels composed and cultivated.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with a more expansive, spacious silhouette and softened serif treatment. Its proportions and gentle detailing prioritize clarity and an elegant reading texture, aiming for versatility across text and larger typographic settings.
In the text sample, the wide proportions and spacing keep lines from feeling dense, even at larger sizes. Curves and joins stay clean and rounded, and the light finishing on serifs/terminals helps avoid harsh spots, reinforcing a smooth, editorial texture.
