A tall, delicate serif with narrow proportions and crisp, tapered strokes. The design uses small bracketed serifs and subtle flare at terminals, with a slightly calligraphic tension that shows in curved joins and the occasional pointed or beaked ending. Capitals are stately and elongated, while lowercase has a compact x-height with prominent ascenders and descenders, giving lines a vertical, airy rhythm. Numerals follow the same refined construction, with slender stems and gentle curvature that keeps the set cohesive.
Well suited to editorial typography where a refined, literary voice is desired—magazine features, pull quotes, and cultured branding. Its narrow, tall build can be effective for headlines, book covers, and invitations where vertical elegance and economy of space are useful.
The overall tone feels bookish and classical, like a lightly stylized text face with a decorative edge. Its thin, refined shapes read as cultured and editorial, while the sharper terminals add a faintly quirky, storybook character rather than strict formality.
Likely intended to evoke classical serif typography while introducing distinctive, tapered terminals and a slightly eccentric silhouette. The design prioritizes elegance and vertical rhythm over neutrality, aiming for a recognizable voice in display and editorial contexts.
Round letters (like O/C) are narrow and vertically stressed, and many glyphs show tapered ends that prevent the light weight from feeling brittle. The italic is not shown; the roman maintains an even, composed rhythm in the sample text, though the delicate hairlines suggest it will benefit from comfortable sizes and good contrast in reproduction.
