This typeface shows a high-contrast serif construction with tapered, flared stroke endings and delicately bracketed transitions into the terminals. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with hairline joins and sharp, clean apexes on letters like A and V. The capitals feel stately and open, while the lowercase is more text-oriented, featuring compact bowls, a two-storey a, and a looped g with a distinctive ear. Numerals follow the same contrast and taper logic, giving them a refined, display-ready presence.
It suits magazine and book typography, particularly for headlines, section openers, and pull quotes where contrast and elegance can be showcased. The refined capitals and distinctive lowercase also make it a good fit for premium branding, packaging, and formal stationery where a sophisticated voice is needed.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, with a boutique-editorial sensibility. Its crisp hairlines and flared terminals convey sophistication and restraint, reading as classic yet slightly expressive rather than strictly historical or mechanical.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a more contemporary, flared-terminal finish, creating a refined face that feels at home in editorial settings. Its emphasis on contrast, tapered strokes, and graceful curves suggests a focus on elegance and visual character over purely utilitarian neutrality.
In the text sample, the rhythm is lively due to the strong thick–thin pattern and tapered endings, which adds sparkle at larger sizes. The design’s sharp joins and fine details suggest it will reward generous sizing and careful spacing, especially where hairlines and tight curves cluster.
