A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly flared treatment where stems broaden into the stroke endings rather than terminating in heavy bracketed serifs. Capitals are narrow and poised with sharp, tapered apexes and clean, open counters; the curves and diagonals feel slightly calligraphic in their tension and entry/exit shaping. Lowercase shows a moderate x-height with compact proportions, long ascenders, and fine hairlines; terminals are often pointed or softly swelling, reinforcing the flared rhythm. Numerals and punctuation share the same refined contrast and light finishing, producing a crisp, airy texture in paragraph settings.
Well suited to editorial typography where a refined, high-contrast texture is desired—magazines, essays, literary covers, and cultured brand materials. It can add sophistication to display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, and invitations, while also working for shorter text passages where crisp detail can be appreciated.
The overall tone is cultured and composed, with a bookish, editorial polish. Its slender contrast and flared endings evoke a classical, formal sensibility without feeling heavy, giving text a refined, slightly ceremonial presence.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a flared, calligraphic finish, emphasizing elegance and vertical rhythm. It prioritizes a distinctive stroke-ending character and refined contrast to create an elevated reading voice for editorial and formal applications.
The spacing and proportions create a tight, vertical cadence, while the high contrast makes joins and terminals visually prominent. Curved letters maintain smooth continuity, and the flared stroke endings provide a consistent signature that reads as ornamental at larger sizes and as subtle texture in text.
