This typeface shows slender, softly modulated strokes with clearly flared terminals that broaden into gentle, serif-like endings rather than abrupt slabs. Curves are smooth and open, with generous interior counters and a calm horizontal rhythm that reads as slightly expanded. Serifs and terminals feel lightly cupped and tapered, giving joins and stroke endings a calligraphic finish; diagonals (as in V, W, and Y) stay crisp while remaining delicate. The lowercase maintains a balanced, readable structure with tidy ascenders/descenders, a two-storey “g,” and a light, understated overall color on the page.
It suits editorial typography where a refined, spacious texture is desired—magazines, essays, and book interiors at comfortable sizes. The delicate flaring also works well for display settings such as pull quotes, section heads, and premium branding where a soft classical cue is helpful without heavy ornament.
The overall tone is elegant and composed, combining classical bookish manners with a contemporary lightness. Its flared endings add a subtle crafted character that feels editorial and cultured rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to blend serif tradition with a lighter, more breathable contemporary presence, using flared stroke endings to add warmth and finish while keeping the overall forms crisp and legible.
Capitals are stately and open, with round letters (O, Q) feeling generous and the Q showing a restrained tail. Numerals are similarly light and refined, with simple, readable forms that match the text’s quiet sophistication.
