A delicate serif with subtly flared terminals and gently bracketed serifs that broaden into stroke endings. Strokes are thin with moderate contrast and smooth transitions, giving curves a drawn, calligraphic feel rather than rigid geometry. Proportions are classical and open, with generous internal counters (notably in O, C, e, and g) and a steady, even rhythm in text. Capitals feel stately and restrained; the lowercase shows soft modulation with a two-storey a and a single-storey g, plus an unhurried, readable spacing that keeps the color light.
Well suited to editorial typography where a light, elegant texture is desired—magazine features, book interiors, and refined pull quotes. The crisp, flared detailing also works nicely for literary titles, branding in premium categories, and formal collateral such as invitations when set with ample leading.
The overall tone is quiet, cultured, and editorial—more bookish than flashy. Its light color and softened flares lend a sense of ceremony and sophistication while remaining approachable for long-form reading.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary take on classical serif letterforms, using flared stroke endings and gentle modulation to achieve elegance at text sizes without becoming overly ornate. It balances a bright, airy page color with enough structure in the capitals and numerals for composed, professional layouts.
Diagonal strokes (V, W, Y, v, w) taper gracefully into terminals, and the numerals share the same refined modulation, keeping figures consistent with the text face. The italic is not shown, but the roman exhibits a slight organic liveliness in joins and curves that prevents the design from feeling sterile.
