A delicate serif with noticeably flared terminals and sharp, wedge-like serifs that give the strokes a subtly calligraphic finish. Curves are smooth and generously open, with rounded bowls and clear counters, while straight stems stay crisp and clean. The contrast is apparent without feeling extreme, and the overall construction reads as carefully balanced and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Spacing and proportions feel measured, supporting a composed texture in running text.
It suits editorial design, long-form reading, and literary or cultural contexts where a refined serif texture is desirable. The crisp serifs and open counters also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and brand applications that aim for a classic, polished impression without heaviness.
The tone is poised and understated, leaning toward a bookish, cultivated elegance rather than overt ornament. Its flared endings and crisp serifs add a touch of formality and tradition, while the open shapes keep it approachable and clear.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif conventions with subtly flared, pen-influenced terminals, producing an elegant reading face with a distinctive yet restrained character.
Distinctive details like the Q’s sweeping tail and the gently flared stroke endings throughout contribute personality without disrupting readability. Numerals appear aligned with the same refined, lightly tapered logic as the letters, reinforcing a cohesive typographic voice.
