A delicate serif with pronounced stroke modulation and gently flared terminals that broaden subtly at the ends of verticals and curves. The forms are relatively slender with generous internal space, and the rhythm is calm and measured across text. Serifs read as tapered and integrated rather than blocky, with smooth curves and crisp joins that give the letters a polished, drawn quality. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and narrow stance, with open counters and restrained detailing.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazine typography, book jackets, and pull quotes where an elegant, high-contrast serif texture is desirable. It also works for refined branding applications—logos, packaging, and invitations—especially when set with ample whitespace. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at sizes and outputs that can preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is cultured and composed, evoking classic book typography and high-end editorial design. Its lightness and sharp contrast add a sense of sophistication and precision, while the flared endings lend a faintly calligraphic warmth rather than a strictly mechanical feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif voice, combining crisp high-contrast drawing with subtly flared endings for a more human, calligraphic finish. It prioritizes elegance and readability in composed layouts, aiming for an elevated editorial presence rather than rugged or utilitarian use.
In continuous text, the contrast and thin hairlines create a bright, elegant texture that benefits from comfortable sizes and good spacing. The design emphasizes verticality and clean silhouettes, making it feel formal without becoming ornate.
