A delicate serif with high-contrast strokes and subtly flared terminals that widen into tapered endings. The letterforms are relatively narrow with a tall, airy presence, and the serifs read as fine, sharp wedges rather than heavy brackets. Curves are smooth and restrained, while joins and stroke endings show a gentle calligraphic modulation that keeps the rhythm lively without looking decorative. Numerals and capitals follow the same disciplined construction, maintaining a consistent, polished texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book or magazine settings, and refined headline work where a bright, high-contrast serif texture is desirable. It can also support upscale branding and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs, especially when used with generous leading and careful spacing.
The overall tone feels elegant and literary, with a classical sensibility suited to formal or cultural contexts. Its light touch and crisp detailing convey refinement and restraint, leaning more toward editorial sophistication than utilitarian neutrality.
Likely intended to provide a modern, high-contrast serif voice with a subtle flare-driven personality—combining classical proportions with sharper, more contemporary stroke endings for distinctive readability and elegance.
In running text, the spacing and slender strokes produce an open, bright page color, while the flared terminals add a distinctive signature at larger sizes. The design’s finesse suggests best results with comfortable sizing and line spacing so the fine details and contrast remain clear.
