A delicate, calligraphic serif with slender strokes and subtly flared terminals that read like carefully drawn pen forms. Curves are smooth and open, with a lightly modulated stroke that gives bowls and rounds a graceful, tapered feel. Proportions favor tall ascenders and generous capitals, while lowercase remains compact and tidy, creating an elegant vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same fine, slightly tapered construction, keeping the overall color light and composed.
Well suited to book covers, chapter openers, magazine features, and other editorial contexts where a light, graceful voice is needed. It can also support formal invitations, boutique branding, and short highlight text such as pull quotes or headings where its delicate strokes can be given room to breathe.
The tone is quiet and cultivated, suggesting classical writing and editorial refinement rather than bold display. Its thin, tapered strokes and poised spacing evoke a gentle, literary mood with a touch of formality.
Likely intended to bridge formal calligraphic elegance with practical readability, offering a drawn, pen-informed serif that feels refined in display sizes while remaining composed in continuous text.
Capitals appear notably airy with wide interior counters, while joins and terminals stay restrained—more flared than bracketed. The overall texture stays even in paragraph settings, with a consistent, hand-guided regularity that feels intentional rather than rustic.
