A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Vertical stems feel crisp while joins and curves thin dramatically, producing a lively rhythm. Serifs and terminals frequently flare or taper into wedge-like shapes, and several letters show soft, teardrop-like endings that emphasize a written, pen-derived logic. Curves are narrow and controlled, with compact counters in letters like B, P, R, and e, while the figures and capitals maintain a poised, fashion-forward stance.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine titles, and other editorial display contexts where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It can also work well for premium packaging and branding applications that benefit from a classic yet fashion-oriented serif presence.
The overall tone is elegant and slightly theatrical, combining classic bookish manners with a boutique, display sensibility. Its sharp contrasts and flared endings lend it a cultured, period-tinged character that reads as premium and curated rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated display serif that blends traditional, calligraphic stress with distinctive flared terminals for a memorable typographic signature. It prioritizes style, texture, and expressive detail over plain neutrality.
Distinctive, high-style details stand out in the bowls and terminals (notably in S, a, e, g, and y), which can add personality but also make the texture more decorative at larger sizes. Numerals carry the same contrast and flare, keeping a consistent voice across editorial settings.
