A delicate serif with subtly flared terminals and tapered strokes that give the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel without becoming script-like. The overall color is light and open, with generous counters, crisp joins, and a restrained contrast that reads cleanly at display sizes. Capitals are stately and proportionally balanced, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable structure; round forms are smooth and spacious, and the numerals follow the same light, refined rhythm.
It suits magazine and book typography, especially for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display-led editorial moments where refinement is desired. The light build also makes it appropriate for formal stationery and invitation-style layouts, and for branding applications that benefit from a quiet, premium tone.
The tone is poised and cultured, suggesting editorial polish and quiet sophistication rather than bold impact. Its airy construction and gentle flaring lend a classic, bookish character with a contemporary neatness.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with gently flared stroke endings, creating an elegant reading texture that feels crafted yet modern. Its emphasis seems to be on clarity and grace in larger sizes, with enough regularity to support extended text when set carefully.
Serif treatment is consistent and understated, with many strokes ending in slight wedges or flares rather than sharp brackets, helping maintain softness in the texture. Spacing appears even in the sample text, producing a calm line rhythm and a lightly textured paragraph color.
