A delicate serif with subtly flared stroke endings and gently bracketed serifs, creating a tapered, calligraphic feel without strong contrast. Curves are broad and smooth, with open counters and a quiet rhythm that keeps text color light and even. Capitals feel stately and spacious, while the lowercase shows soft modulation, a two-storey “g,” and understated, slightly ear-like terminals that add character without becoming decorative. Numerals follow the same refined, lightly tapered construction, reading clearly while maintaining an elegant, bookish texture.
Well suited to long-form editorial and book typography where a light, refined serif can keep pages feeling open and cultured. It also works nicely for literary branding, museum or arts materials, and formal invitations where subtle flare and crisp finishing details can carry a premium tone.
The overall tone is poised and literary—more classic than contemporary, with an airy, cultivated presence. Its restrained detailing and soft flare suggest tradition and craft, suitable for settings where sophistication should feel calm rather than showy.
The design appears intended to evoke classical, print-rooted sophistication through tapered strokes and flared endings, balancing readability with a gentle sense of craft. It aims for an understated elegance that can move between text and display applications without losing its composed voice.
Extremities tend to narrow into fine tips or gentle wedges, which makes the design feel crisp at display sizes while still maintaining a coherent text rhythm. The proportions lean toward graceful, slightly condensed forms in places, and the curves (notably in C, O, and e) emphasize smooth continuity over sharp angularity.
