A delicate serif face with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a vertically oriented structure. Strokes transition into tapered, flared terminals, producing sharp, pointed serifs and fine hairlines that stay crisp in display sizes. The letterforms feel compact and columnar, with open bowls and smooth curves balanced against slender stems and narrow cross-strokes. Lowercase details lean toward a traditional book-seriffed build, with a single-storey “g” and a gentle, slightly calligraphic flow in the joins and terminals.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, book-cover titles, and refined branding where its contrast and tapered endings can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and spacing to protect the thin strokes.
The font conveys a poised, cultivated tone—formal without feeling rigid. Its high-end, literary character reads as timeless and editorial, suggesting careful typesetting and a sense of sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with a more sculpted, flared finishing—combining traditional proportions with sharper, more stylized terminals for a premium, contemporary editorial feel.
Numerals and capitals show a graceful, sculpted contrast that favors clean, sharp edges over blunt endings, while maintaining consistent rhythm across the alphabet. The overall color on the page is light and airy, with fine features that emphasize elegance more than robustness.
