A lightly built serif with an airy, narrow texture and a subtly calligraphic skeleton. Strokes show gentle modulation and rounded joins, with small bracketed serifs and occasional flared terminals that soften the outlines. Proportions run tall with prominent ascenders and descenders, giving the lowercase a lively vertical rhythm, while counters stay open and clean. Numerals and capitals keep the same restrained, refined construction, favoring slender stems and smooth curves over sharp, mechanical geometry.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a refined serif voice is desired—magazine text, book interiors, and literary headings. It can also work in branding or packaging that benefits from a cultured, slightly whimsical tone, especially at medium sizes where the delicate serif detailing remains clear.
The overall tone feels literary and slightly old-world, like a contemporary take on classic book typography with a hint of whimsy. Its soft terminals and tall proportions add a personable, storybook character without becoming overtly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a readable serif with a distinctive, personable cadence—prioritizing elegance and vertical grace while adding subtle calligraphic warmth through softened serifs and tapered terminals.
The forms maintain a consistent, quiet rhythm across uppercase and lowercase, with noticeable elegance in curved characters and a delicate presence in text. The italic is not shown; the visible style reads as a steady roman with expressive, gently tapered details.
