This typeface is a refined serif with pronounced contrast between hairlines and main strokes, and a distinctly flared approach to terminals that suggests a calligraphic, tapered construction rather than blunt slab endings. Serifs and stroke endings often widen subtly into wedge-like forms, giving the letters a crisp, sculpted finish. The proportions are relatively tight with compact widths and a steady vertical stance; curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and apexes (notably in A, V, W, and y) come to sharp points. Lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with long, elegant extenders; details like the two-storey a and g and the fine, straight-sided numerals reinforce a formal, text-oriented rhythm.
It performs especially well for editorial design such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and feature typography where contrast and detail can shine. The narrow, elegant shapes also make it a strong candidate for book covers, cultural branding, and upscale packaging, particularly when set at medium-to-large sizes with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, combining classical bookish familiarity with a slightly contemporary sharpness. Its delicate hairlines and tapered terminals create a sense of luxury and precision, while the narrow rhythm adds seriousness and focus. The result feels suited to cultured, literary, and design-forward contexts rather than casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif voice with flared, calligraphic terminals that add sophistication without ornate decoration. It balances classic serif structure with sharper, more streamlined detailing to support elegant, space-efficient typography for editorial and brand applications.
In text, the contrast and fine details read cleanly at display and larger body sizes, with punctuation and diacritics appearing crisp. The numerals are slender and elegant, and the uppercase has a stately presence without becoming overly wide or heavy, supporting a consistent, polished typographic color across lines.
