A delicate serif with subtly flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs that feel more grown than attached. Strokes are smooth and mostly even, with mild modulation and soft transitions at joins, giving curves a restrained, calligraphic sweetness. Proportions lean moderately wide with open counters and clear apertures; round letters are generous and the uppercase reads stately without being rigid. Terminals are clean and slightly tapered, and the figures follow an oldstyle-influenced rhythm with varied widths and rounded forms that sit comfortably in text.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a refined texture and comfortable reading rhythm are needed. It can also support magazine and literary title work, as well as brand systems that want a classic serif voice with a subtle handcrafted edge.
The overall tone is literary and composed, conveying quiet elegance rather than sharp formality. It suggests a thoughtful, human presence—polished enough for editorial work, yet warm and approachable in continuous reading.
Likely intended as a contemporary text serif that borrows from humanist and oldstyle cues, using gentle flare and bracketing to add warmth while preserving clarity and restraint in paragraph settings.
The design maintains a consistent rhythm across capitals and lowercase, with tidy spacing and a smooth baseline flow. Distinctive flaring at stroke ends adds personality while staying understated, which helps the face feel crafted without becoming decorative.
