This serif shows pronounced stroke contrast with fine hairlines and tapered, gently flared terminals that give strokes a sculpted, slightly calligraphic finish. Serifs are delicate and bracketed rather than blunt, and curves transition smoothly into stems, creating a polished rhythm across text. Proportions feel balanced with moderately tall capitals, open counters, and a measured, bookish spacing that stays clear at display and reading sizes. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel with varied shapes and lively modulation that matches the letterforms.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and book work where contrast and refined detailing are desirable. It also performs convincingly for headlines, pull quotes, and formal communications such as invitations or programs, where its tapered terminals and crisp serifs can convey sophistication.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, with a quiet sense of luxury. Its crisp contrast and softened, flaring endings evoke traditional print typography and lend an editorial, literary character without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a modern, sharpened contrast and distinctive flared finishing. It aims for a premium reading-and-display voice that feels traditional in structure while adding a subtle contemporary edge through terminal shaping and modulation.
In the sample text, the font maintains an even color despite the strong modulation, and round letters keep a generous interior space. Diagonals and joins (notably in V, W, y, and k) are clean and controlled, while terminals on letters like a, c, e, and r add a subtle signature that reads as intentional rather than decorative.
