A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and fuller verticals, showing a subtle flared behavior where strokes broaden into the terminals. Serifs are crisp and wedge-like with gentle bracketing, giving the outlines a carved, slightly calligraphic feel rather than rigid construction. Proportions are balanced with a moderately sized x-height, open counters, and a steady rhythm in running text; joins and curves are clean, with pronounced thinning through curves and diagonals. Numerals appear lining and text-oriented, matching the same contrast and terminal treatment for a cohesive page color.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and sophisticated branding where a refined serif voice is desired. It can serve as a display face for headlines and pull quotes, while also remaining readable for longer passages when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting sophistication and a quietly dramatic elegance. Its contrast and tapered details evoke classical book typography and fashion/editorial sensibilities, reading as formal without feeling cold.
The typeface appears intended to blend classical serif tradition with a slightly sculpted, flared terminal language, creating a refined text-and-display workhorse with a distinctive, elegant finish.
Uppercase forms feel statuesque and spacious, while lowercase maintains clarity through open bowls and well-defined apertures. The design’s thin features and sharp terminals suggest it will look best when allowed sufficient size and print-like resolution, where its delicate modulation can remain intact.
