A delicate serif with pronounced contrast between hairlines and main strokes, producing a crisp, airy texture on the page. Stems frequently broaden into subtly flared terminals rather than ending in blunt slabs, giving the letterforms a gently calligraphic, chiseled finish. Uppercase proportions feel stately with wide bowls and carefully tapered joins, while the lowercase maintains a clear, readable rhythm with open counters and lightly bracketed details. Figures are similarly high-contrast and elegant, with thin horizontals and refined curves that match the text color of the letters.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine headlines, book covers, and brand systems that need a sophisticated serif voice. It can also work for invitations and cultural materials where a light, polished tone is desirable, especially at display and larger text sizes.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, leaning toward a traditional, bookish elegance rather than a loud display personality. Its thin hairlines and sculpted terminals convey refinement and formality, suggesting premium print contexts and a measured, thoughtful voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical serif typography by pairing high contrast with subtly flared terminals for a refined, crafted impression. It prioritizes elegance and clarity in setting while maintaining enough distinctive stroke shaping to feel premium and intentional.
In text, the spacing and stroke contrast create a bright, high-end page color, with particularly fine cross-strokes and terminals that benefit from adequate size and good reproduction conditions. The design balances classical serif structure with the softer, tapered feeling of flared endings, avoiding harsh mechanical finishes.
