A delicate serif with tapered, flared stroke endings and a lightly calligraphic modulation. The letterforms are generously proportioned with open counters and a spacious overall rhythm, giving the text a clean, airy texture. Serifs read as subtle wedges rather than blunt slabs, and joins are smooth with gentle swelling into terminals. Curves are round and controlled, with a crisp, high-fidelity silhouette that stays calm and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and long-form reading where an airy, refined texture is desired. It also works effectively for upscale branding, invitations, and headings where the tapered terminals can add nuance without becoming ornamental. At larger sizes it can serve as an elegant display face for titles and pull quotes.
The tone is refined and bookish, with a quiet elegance that feels suited to cultured, editorial settings. Its light touch and generous spacing create a sophisticated, modern-classical mood rather than a loud or decorative one. Overall it communicates clarity, restraint, and polish.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with subtly flared, calligraphic stroke endings, producing an elegant texture and a contemporary sense of lightness. It aims for readability through open counters and restrained contrast, while using tapered terminals to add distinction and warmth.
Uppercase forms feel stately and spacious, while the lowercase maintains clarity through simple, open shapes and restrained detailing. Numerals appear similarly light and elegant, matching the text color without calling attention to themselves. The design’s flare-based endings provide character at larger sizes while keeping the page color even and composed.
