A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and weight concentrated in vertical stems, paired with subtly flared, tapered endings that read as soft, wedge-like serifs rather than blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and generously drawn (notably in round letters), while joins and terminals show gentle bracketing and a calligraphic modulation. Proportions feel traditional with a comparatively small x-height, long ascenders, and crisp, narrow apertures that give the lowercase a delicate rhythm. Numerals follow the same thin–thick logic, with elegant, open forms and fine terminals.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book covers, and magazine headlines where contrast and refined detailing can carry the voice. It also fits formal collateral such as invitations, programs, and premium branding applications that benefit from a classical, literary flavor.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, evoking bookish sophistication and formal restraint. Its contrast and fine details lend a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the flared finishes keep it from feeling overly rigid or mechanical.
The letterforms appear designed to blend classical serif proportions with softly flared terminals, aiming for a refined display-to-text personality that feels traditional yet distinctive. The emphasis on contrast, tapering, and generous curves suggests an intention to convey elegance and authority in headlines and carefully set passages.
The design rewards generous sizing and comfortable tracking, where the hairlines and flare details can remain clear. In longer text, the compact x-height and pronounced modulation create a stately, traditional cadence rather than a utilitarian one.
