A slender serif with gently tapered strokes and softly flared, bracketed terminals that evoke pen-driven construction. Curves are narrow and vertical, with a rhythmic alternation of thick and thin that stays controlled rather than dramatic. Many letters show slightly unconventional, sculpted joins and narrow apertures, giving the alphabet a distinctive silhouette while maintaining clear word shapes. The lowercase has tall ascenders and compact bowls, and the numerals and capitals keep a poised, columnar stance with crisp, angled finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a refined but characterful serif is desired—magazine titling, pull quotes, and book-cover typography. The narrow, elegant forms also work for invitations and heritage-leaning brand wordmarks, especially when set with generous tracking or in larger display sizes where its terminal details can be appreciated.
The tone feels literary and period-leaning, with a refined, slightly eccentric elegance. It suggests classic book typography filtered through a decorative, calligraphic sensibility, giving text a cultured, editorial voice rather than a purely neutral one.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading impression while introducing distinctive, decorative shaping at terminals and joins. It balances traditional proportions with subtle eccentricities to create an identifiable voice for headlines and curated text settings.
In text, the font reads with a tight, vertical texture and noticeable characterful details at terminals and joins. Those flourished, flared endings add personality at larger sizes, while the overall narrow rhythm helps maintain a composed, formal page color.
