A delicate flared serif with slender, low-contrast strokes and subtly widening terminals that read as soft, tapered serifs rather than sharp brackets. The forms are open and rounded, with broad curves in C/O and a smooth, slightly calligraphic modulation where strokes swell at endings. Proportions feel horizontally generous with relaxed spacing, and the lowercase shows a tidy, readable rhythm with a two-storey g, a single-storey a, and a modest, compact ear on r. Numerals are light and open, with simple, even silhouettes that match the text color of the alphabet.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a light, refined serif is desired, such as book interiors, magazine features, and cultural or academic publishing. It can also serve branding and headline roles that benefit from an airy, premium tone, especially at medium to large sizes where its delicate terminals stay clear.
The overall tone is elegant and quiet, projecting a modern literary refinement rather than overt historical display. Its light touch and softened terminals create an inviting, cultured feel suited to understated, premium typography.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary interpretation of a flared serif: graceful and readable, with softened stroke endings that add character without heavy contrast or decorative detailing.
Uppercase shapes stay clean and restrained, with minimal ornamentation; the Q’s tail is brief and unobtrusive, and diagonals (V/W/Y) remain crisp while keeping the same gentle terminal behavior. The font maintains a consistent, airy color in text, aided by open counters and a smooth curve-to-stem transitions.
