A contemporary serif with slender, mostly even strokes and subtle flare at terminals rather than heavy bracketed serifs. The letterforms feel open and clean, with generous counters, smooth curves, and pointed joins on diagonals (notably in V/W/X and the apex of A). Uppercase proportions are elegant and slightly narrow in impression, while the lowercase maintains a clear, readable structure with a single-storey a and a compact, rounded g. Figures are lining and similarly light in color, with simple, restrained shapes that keep an even rhythm in text.
Well suited to editorial systems where a refined serif voice is needed, including magazine layouts, book typography, and cultural or institutional materials. The light, clean construction also works effectively for branding, display headlines, and posters that benefit from an elegant, contemporary serif presence.
The overall tone is poised and quiet, balancing classic book typography cues with a more modern, minimal finish. It reads as polished and cultured without feeling ornate, lending a calm authority to headlines and text alike.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern serif with understated sophistication, using flared terminals and crisp geometry to provide character while maintaining a controlled, readable text rhythm.
Distinctive flared stroke endings add character at larger sizes, while the restrained detailing keeps paragraphs from looking fussy. The design relies on clean curves and sharp terminals for personality, producing a crisp texture that stays airy in longer passages.
