A delicate serif with slim, largely even stroke weight and subtle flare at terminals that reads as softly sculpted rather than bracketed or slabbed. Curves are generous and clean, with round bowls and open apertures that keep counters bright; joins and terminals show a gentle swelling that adds a calligraphic nuance without breaking the overall clarity. Proportions are balanced and slightly tall in effect, with long ascenders/descenders and a calm rhythm across text. Numerals appear straightforward and lining-like, matching the same light, polished stroke behavior.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book jackets—where its refined flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also serve in branding and packaging that wants a modern, cultured serif voice, and works cleanly for short-to-medium text passages when ample size and leading are available.
The overall tone is poised and contemporary, combining quiet sophistication with a light, graceful presence. The flared endings and open shapes give it a cultured, bookish feel without becoming ornate, making it read as confident and understated.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif texture by using fine strokes, open counters, and gently flared terminals to create a crisp yet human, slightly calligraphic impression. It aims for elegance and readability with a restrained, contemporary finish.
In longer text, the spacing and rounded construction produce an even color, while the fine strokes and gentle flares add character at display sizes. The design maintains consistency between uppercase and lowercase, with especially smooth circular forms and restrained, refined terminals.
