This typeface presents a refined serif design with pronounced stroke contrast and a crisp, drawn quality. Vertical stems stay clean and straight while serifs and terminals taper into delicate hairlines that often flare subtly at the ends, creating a sculpted, calligraphic finish rather than blunt cuts. The proportions feel generously set with open counters and smooth, rounded bowls; joins are softly bracketed, and curves resolve with controlled sharpness. Uppercase forms read stately and measured, while the lowercase keeps a traditional rhythm with a single-story “g” and a modestly sized x-height relative to the capitals.
Best suited to editorial applications such as magazine headlines, book jackets, and refined display typography where its contrast and delicate terminals can be seen clearly. It can also support premium branding and packaging, especially in larger sizes or with ample spacing to preserve the fine details.
Overall tone is elegant and literary, suggesting formality and taste without becoming overly ornamental. The thin hairlines and sweeping curves add a sense of luxury and quiet drama, making it feel suited to polished, high-end communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic serif elegance, combining traditional proportions with sharpened contrast and subtly flared finishing strokes for a fashion-forward, editorial voice.
The italics are not shown; in the roman, the “Q” features a distinctive sweeping tail, and several letters (notably S, a, and g) show expressive, slightly calligraphic shaping at terminals. Numerals appear lining and similarly high-contrast, with graceful curves and fine finishing strokes that match the text style.
