A delicate, high-contrast serif with hairline joins and subtly flared stroke endings that read as soft, tapered terminals rather than blunt serifs. The letterforms feel gently calligraphic: curves are smooth and open, verticals are slender, and stress is consistent across round shapes. Proportions lean toward the classical and slightly condensed side, with generous counters and crisp punctuation-like finishes on stems. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a narrow, clean i/j with small dots, and a graceful, lightly bracketing rhythm that keeps text cohesive at display sizes.
Best suited to editorial typography where contrast and finesse are assets—magazine headlines, book covers, cultural posters, and refined brand identities. It also works well for short passages and pull quotes at larger sizes, where the hairlines and flared terminals can be appreciated without losing clarity.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a poised, fashion-forward elegance. Its thin hairlines and controlled contrast convey sophistication and restraint, while the flared terminals add a subtle warmth that keeps it from feeling purely mechanical or stark.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end take on classical serif proportions, emphasizing elegance through thin hairlines and controlled flare at stroke endings. It aims to create a luxurious, readable display texture that feels at home in publishing and branding contexts.
In the sample text, spacing and word shapes feel refined and even, with strong vertical rhythm and clean diagonals in V/W/X/Y. The numerals echo the same contrast and finesse, giving a consistent, premium texture across headings and pull-quote style settings.
