A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a calligraphic, slightly sculpted construction. Vertical stems read crisp and controlled, with terminals and serifs that flare subtly rather than forming blunt slabs, giving many strokes a tapered, ink-trace finish. Curves are smooth and open, bowls are generous, and counters stay clear in both uppercase and lowercase. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish rhythm with a double-storey “g” and “a”, fine hairlines, and neatly bracketed joins; numerals appear elegant and formal with similarly high-contrast modeling.
Well suited to magazines, literary or cultural publishing, and other editorial contexts where an elegant serif texture is desired. It can carry refined headlines and pull quotes effectively, and also works for brand marks, packaging, and invitations when a classic, upscale voice is needed.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, leaning toward an editorial, high-end feel. Its sharp detailing and airy hairlines suggest sophistication and restraint, while the flared endings add a softly classical, slightly calligraphic warmth rather than a rigid engraved look.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a more tapered, flared terminal treatment, delivering a refined reading texture that feels contemporary in its sharpness while retaining traditional letterform manners.
At larger sizes the thin horizontals and hairlines become a defining feature, creating a sparkling texture across lines of text. The design maintains a consistent serif treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive page color with a gently dynamic baseline rhythm.
