A delicate serif with subtly flared stroke endings and a light overall color. Strokes show gentle contrast and a calm, upright stance, with smooth curves and finely tapered terminals that give many forms a slightly calligraphic finish. Capitals are proportioned with generous open counters and restrained, sharp serifs; round letters stay clean and near-circular, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain slender and precise. Lowercase forms read evenly with a straightforward rhythm, narrow joins, and softly shaped terminals, producing a crisp texture in continuous text.
It suits editorial typography where a light, elegant serif can add polish without heavy texture—book interiors, magazines, long-form essays, and cultural program text. It can also work well for premium branding, invitations, and headings where a refined, classical voice is desired, especially at moderate-to-large sizes.
The tone is poised and literary—more refined than rustic—suggesting quiet sophistication rather than loud display. Its airy weight and tapered finishing lend a tasteful, classical feel suited to editorial and cultural contexts.
The likely intention is to provide a modern, readable serif with classical proportions and subtly calligraphic detailing, using flared endings and restrained contrast to create an elegant yet approachable text and display voice.
The design maintains a consistent lightness across the set, with clear differentiation in figures and a dignified, slightly formal presence in capitals. The flared endings add warmth compared to a pure transitional serif, while keeping the overall impression clean and controlled.
