A wide, right-leaning serif with gently flared, bracketed terminals and a calm, low-contrast stroke profile. The letterforms show soft, calligraphic shaping—curved joins, tapered ends, and slightly swelling strokes—rather than rigid geometric construction. Counters are open and generous, and the overall spacing and proportions feel expansive, giving the face an airy texture in text. Numerals and capitals maintain the same restrained modulation and crisp, sculpted serifs, producing a cohesive, traditional texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a traditional voice is desired—book interiors, magazine features, and long-form reading—especially when paired with generous measures. Its expansive, elegant character also makes it effective for literary titling, refined packaging, and brand systems that want a classic serif with a more relaxed, flowing presence.
The font conveys a bookish, cultivated tone with a subtle italic elegance. Its broad proportions and softened serif treatment add warmth and approachability, while the controlled detailing keeps it suitable for more formal, editorial settings.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text serif by combining generous width and open counters with a gentle, italicized calligraphic sensibility. It aims to balance readability and tradition with a more expressive, elegant surface for contemporary editorial and display use.
Diagonal strokes and curved letters emphasize a flowing rhythm, with terminals that read as subtly chiseled rather than blunt. The design maintains clarity at text sizes in the sample, with distinct forms and consistent serif behavior across upper- and lowercase.
