A light, wide serif with gently sculpted, bracketed serifs and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes show moderated contrast, with fine hairlines and slightly flared terminals that give curves a soft, calligraphic finish. The letterforms are generously spaced with open counters and smooth, rounded bowls; capitals feel stately and controlled, while lowercase forms maintain a steady, readable texture. Figures follow the same refined construction, with clear shapes and understated detailing.
Well-suited to editorial typography, including books, longform articles, and magazine layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. The wide proportions and light stroke weight also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and sophisticated brand typography in print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining classical proportions with an airy lightness. It reads as elegant rather than austere, offering a quiet sophistication suited to premium, editorial settings.
This design appears intended to provide a conventional text serif with a more graceful, spacious feel, balancing classic serif cues with subtle calligraphic shaping for a premium reading and display voice.
Distinctive terminal shaping is visible on letters like C, E, S, and the lowercase a and e, where small flares and tapered joins add character without becoming decorative. The wide set and crisp serifing help headings feel spacious, while the moderate contrast keeps paragraphs from looking overly sharp.
