A delicate serif with subtly flared stroke terminals and a lightly calligraphic construction. Strokes show gentle contrast and a soft swelling into the ends rather than hard bracketed serifs, giving outlines a tapered, slightly sculpted feel. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous, and the overall rhythm is even but not rigid—details like angled joins and narrow cross strokes add a lively, hand-informed texture. Numerals follow the same light, tapered logic, keeping an elegant, airy presence.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and other display-to-text settings where a refined serif with personality is desired. It can also work for boutique branding, invitations, and packaging that benefits from an elegant, slightly calligraphic tone.
The font reads as cultured and bookish with a hint of playful eccentricity. Its flared endings and fine stroke work suggest tradition and refinement, while the slightly idiosyncratic letter shapes keep it from feeling purely formal.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a classical serif through flared, pen-like terminals, balancing readability with a distinctive, graceful signature. It aims for an airy texture and a literary voice without resorting to heavy ornamentation.
In the sample text, long runs maintain a calm color, but the fine strokes and distinctive flares make the design feel more expressive than utilitarian. The light construction favors clean printing and careful sizing where small details remain visible.
