A delicate serif with subtly flared terminals and finely tapered stroke endings. Serifs are light and understated, often appearing as small wedges rather than sharp brackets, giving the letterforms a gently sculpted, calligraphic finish. Curves are smooth and open with generous counters, while straight stems remain clean and vertical; overall spacing reads slightly airy, supporting a quiet, even rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same restrained construction, with simple, readable forms and minimal ornament.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a graceful serif texture is desired—book interiors, magazine features, essays, and long-form reading at comfortable sizes. It can also support premium branding and print pieces such as invitations or cultural programs, especially where a light, polished voice is preferred over heavier traditional serifs.
The tone is refined and literary, with a composed, cultured presence that feels more bookish than decorative. Its light touch and flared endings add sophistication without becoming formal or severe, producing a calm, understated elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a flared serif: clean, readable outlines paired with subtle terminal expansion to add warmth and refinement. It aims for an elegant text color and a gentle, crafted character without relying on strong contrast or overt decoration.
Uppercase forms lean toward classical proportions with broad, open shapes (notably round letters) and crisp, minimal serifs. Lowercase construction stays straightforward and highly legible, with single-storey forms where shown and clear differentiation between similar characters.
