This typeface is a refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, flared terminals that broaden subtly as strokes meet their endings. Serifs are delicate and often wedge-like, with gentle bracketing that keeps joins smooth rather than abrupt. Curves are open and carefully drawn, with a slightly calligraphic rhythm visible in the way bowls, shoulders, and diagonals transition into thin hairlines. Proportions lean toward generous caps and relatively compact lowercase, and spacing reads even and composed in text while keeping a lively, hand-influenced texture.
Well-suited to editorial and long-form reading where a refined serif texture is desired, such as books, essays, and magazine typography. It also performs convincingly in headings, pull quotes, and brand marks that benefit from high contrast and tapered detailing, especially at moderate-to-large sizes where the delicate hairlines can be appreciated.
Overall tone is elegant and literary, evoking classic editorial typography with a calm, cultured voice. The high-contrast strokes and fine detailing add a sense of sophistication and restraint, while the flared endings introduce warmth and a subtle humanist character rather than a strictly formal, engraved feel.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif tradition with a softer, flared-terminal finish, providing an upscale text-and-display voice that feels both cultured and approachable. Its controlled contrast and measured proportions suggest a focus on readability and typographic polish, while the tapered endings supply a distinctive signature for premium editorial or brand use.
The italics are not shown; the roman exhibits crisp hairlines in letters like E, F, T, and the numerals, and the flared stroke endings are especially noticeable on terminals in C, G, S, and a/e. The numerals appear lining with clear contrast and distinctive curves, giving them a slightly display-like presence without overpowering text settings.
