This is a high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and more substantial main strokes, producing a bright, airy color on the page. Serifs are sharp and slightly flared, with a gently calligraphic taper where strokes meet terminals rather than blunt cuts. Round letters (C, O, Q) show smooth, ovalized bowls with delicate joins, while diagonals (V, W, Y) come to clean, pointed vertices. Lowercase forms are compact and neat, with modest extenders and a single-storey g whose ear and tail add a lively, handwritten accent; the overall spacing reads even and composed in text.
Well-suited to book interiors and editorial typography where a refined serif voice is desired, especially at comfortable reading sizes with adequate line spacing. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, cultural branding, invitations, and other premium print applications where crisp contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated.
The tone is poised and literary, suggesting tradition and craft rather than overt modernism. Its sharp serifs and fine hairlines feel formal and refined, with subtle calligraphic details that add warmth and a hint of old-world sophistication.
The design appears intended to evoke a classic, literary serif tradition while adding a slightly calligraphic, tapered terminal language for elegance at display and text sizes. Its consistent contrast and flared finishing aim to create a polished, premium impression without becoming overly ornate.
Distinctive details include the long, sweeping tail on Q, the narrow, elegant crossbars and joins, and slightly irregular, pen-like modulation in curves and terminals that keeps large sizes from feeling sterile. Numerals follow the same contrast and delicacy, with open, graceful shapes that suit display settings.
