A very light serif with gently tapered, flared terminals and a slightly calligraphic stroke feel. Curves are clean and generously open, with rounded bowls and soft joins that keep the texture light and breathable. The serifs read more as subtle flicks than hard brackets, and several shapes show delicate, asymmetric finishing—especially in letters like J, Q, and y. Figures are similarly slender and rounded, maintaining a consistent hairline rhythm across the set.
Best suited for display and larger text settings where its hairline strokes and flared terminals can stay crisp—such as magazine headlines, refined packaging, posters, and invitation or event materials. It can also work for short editorial passages when set with generous size and leading, where its open counters and light color help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is graceful and lightly playful, combining a refined, literary feel with a hint of hand-drawn charm. Its thin strokes and soft terminals give it an elegant presence without becoming formal or severe, making it feel approachable and slightly whimsical in longer phrases.
The design appears intended to deliver a delicate, decorative serif voice: light in color, smooth in rhythm, and subtly expressive through tapered terminals and elegant curves. It aims to add sophistication and a touch of personality without relying on heavy ornamentation.
Spacing appears comfortably loose in the sample text, and the thin strokes create a bright page color that benefits from ample size and contrasty backgrounds. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g) and an unforced, modernized serif character, while capitals keep a calm, monoline-like posture with gentle modulation.
