A delicate serif with gently flared terminals and softly bracketed serifs that feel drawn rather than machined. Strokes show subtle modulation, with thin hairlines and slightly fuller diagonals, and curves that stay open and generously rounded. The capitals are elegant and relatively narrow in their internal counters, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact bowls and a light, tapered finish on many joins and terminals. Numerals and punctuation follow the same understated, tapered logic, keeping a consistent, graceful texture in text.
It fits well in long-form and editorial typography where a light, elegant texture is desired—books, magazines, essays, and poetry. It can also work effectively for formal printed pieces like invitations or programs, especially at comfortable text sizes where the delicate terminals and modulation remain visible.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a quiet classicism that reads as cultured and slightly old-world. Its light touch and soft flaring give it a calm, airy presence, suited to sophisticated, contemplative settings rather than loud display.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary take on classic serif readability, adding gentle flaring and calligraphic softness to keep the texture lively without becoming ornate. It prioritizes an even, graceful rhythm across mixed case and numerals for composed, page-oriented typography.
Letterforms lean on open apertures and restrained detailing, which helps maintain clarity despite the thin strokes. The design avoids heavy wedge gestures, instead using small flares and smooth transitions that keep the page color light and even.
