A slender serif with subtle contrast and flared terminals that broaden gently at stroke endings. Curves are smooth and controlled, with open counters and a clean, lightly calligraphic rhythm. Capitals are tall and carefully proportioned, while the lowercase stays relatively compact, giving the face a slightly top-heavy, editorial feel. Numerals follow the same restrained construction, with simple shapes and modest modulation that keeps the texture even in continuous text.
This font suits editorial layouts, book interiors, and magazine typography where a lighter, refined serif can carry long-form reading with a crisp texture. It also works well for literary titles, pull quotes, and formal materials such as invitations or program notes, especially when set with generous leading.
The overall tone is quiet and cultivated, suggesting traditional print typography rather than overt display. Its thin strokes and softly flaring ends lend a refined, slightly formal character that reads as literary and measured.
The design appears intended to provide a readable serif with a gentle flared signature—adding classical sophistication and a slightly calligraphic finish while preserving an uncluttered, contemporary text rhythm.
In the sample text, spacing appears comfortable and the letterforms maintain a consistent, airy color at larger sizes. The flared endings are present without becoming decorative, so the face stays readable while still feeling distinct from a plain text serif.
