A narrow, high-contrast, calligraphic serif with tapered strokes and softly flared, wedge-like terminals. Stems alternate between hairline joins and fuller verticals, creating a lively rhythm that feels drawn rather than mechanically constructed. Proportions are compact with tall ascenders and modest bowls, and the lowercase maintains a measured, readable x-height. Several capitals show distinctive, sculpted forms (notably the rounded, split-stem look in characters like M), while numerals follow the same elegant contrast and curved finishing.
It suits book covers, chapter openers, editorial headlines, pull quotes, and cultural posters where a classic, formal voice is desired. It can also work for invitations or branding that benefits from a composed, calligraphic serif look, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the thin strokes and tapered terminals remain clear.
The font conveys a refined, literary tone with a slightly antiquarian flavor—more evocative of printed titles and classic prose than modern corporate typography. Its contrast and tapered endings give it a poised, ceremonial presence without becoming overly ornate.
The typeface appears designed to blend calligraphic gesture with a structured serif framework, offering a distinctive, elegant text-and-display voice that feels curated and literary. Its narrow proportions and strong contrast suggest an emphasis on graceful vertical rhythm and a refined, title-ready silhouette.
The design’s personality comes from its consistent stroke modulation and gently idiosyncratic letterforms, which add charm in display sizes. Spacing appears relatively tight and the slender forms emphasize verticality, which can enhance sophistication but may call for generous leading in longer settings.
