A delicate serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, tapered terminals that subtly flare at the ends, giving stems a softly sculpted finish rather than blunt slabs. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with a restrained, bookish rhythm and generous interior space in rounded forms. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow with sharp apexes and clean joins, while the lowercase maintains an even, readable texture with open counters and smooth curves. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast and light-footed spacing, reading clearly without feeling rigidly monospaced.
It performs best in editorial typography—book interiors, long-form articles, and magazine layouts—where its contrast and open shapes can show clearly at text sizes. The refined detailing also makes it a strong choice for branding, cover titles, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs.
The overall tone is refined and composed, with a classic editorial sophistication that suggests tradition and care. Its high-contrast strokes and tapered details add a polished, premium feel suited to cultured, literary, or formal contexts.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif literacy with a gently contemporary sharpness, using flared, tapered endings to add character while preserving a calm reading rhythm. It aims for elegance and clarity rather than loud display gestures.
Across the set, the tapering and flare at stroke endings create a consistent “inked” impression, as if drawn with a pointed tool, while still remaining controlled and typographic. The spacing in text appears comfortable and airy, supporting longer reading without looking overly mechanical.
