This typeface features tall, tightly proportioned letterforms with delicate, lightly bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings. Strokes stay generally even in thickness, but terminals widen slightly to create a graceful, calligraphic flare rather than blunt endings. The capitals are stately and narrow with a vertical, column-like rhythm, while the lowercase remains similarly condensed with clear, open counters and fine joins. Numerals follow the same slender, vertical construction, reading cleanly at display sizes with a consistent, measured cadence.
It performs best in editorial and display contexts where its narrow proportions and flared detailing can be appreciated—such as magazine mastheads, chapter openers, book-cover titling, posters, and refined branding. In longer passages it will read more as a stylized, high-tone text face than a utilitarian workhorse, making it especially suitable for fashion, culture, and literary applications.
The overall tone is poised and literary, combining a classical bookish sensibility with a slightly theatrical, high-style narrowness. Its refined details and elongated forms suggest sophistication and formality, lending an editorial, boutique character to headlines and short texts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice in a space-saving, vertically emphatic form, using subtle flaring at terminals to add elegance and movement without heavy stroke modulation. It aims for a polished, cultured presence that feels traditional yet distinctive in silhouette.
Round letters (like O/C) stay compact and upright, while diagonals (V/W/X) are sharply drawn and add crispness. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with a single-storey g and compact, vertical stress throughout, reinforcing a consistent, elegant texture across lines.
