A delicate display serif with subtly flared terminals and a lightly calligraphic stroke flow. Strokes are thin and clean, with gentle modulation and smooth joins that keep curves feeling crisp rather than soft. Proportions are tall and open, with generous apertures and counters that stay clear even at smaller sample sizes. Details like the angled joins in K/V/W/X and the tapered, slightly splayed ends on many strokes create a consistent, elegant rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and brand wordmarks where its fine strokes and flared endings can read as intentional detail. It also fits editorial layouts, packaging, and cultural or luxury communications that benefit from a modern serif with an inscriptional edge.
The overall tone is refined and airy, leaning contemporary while retaining a classical, inscriptional polish. It feels composed and intelligent, with a quiet elegance suited to premium, design-forward contexts rather than blunt utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary serif voice with flared, calligraphic terminals—aiming for elegance and clarity through open forms, light color, and disciplined modulation rather than decorative serifs or heavy contrast.
The character set shown emphasizes simplicity and clarity over ornament: terminals flare instead of forming heavy brackets, and many letters rely on tapered endings to add sophistication without increasing weight. Numerals appear similarly light and linear, matching the font’s restrained contrast and clean geometry.
