A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines, swelling joins, and distinctly flared stroke terminals that act like soft serifs rather than blunt brackets. Curves are drawn with a calligraphic logic—thin entry/exit strokes and thicker mid-strokes—creating a lively, modulated rhythm across text. Proportions are relatively compact, with tight apertures and narrow letterforms, while the numerals and capitals keep a poised, display-like stance. Details such as pointed terminals, tapered arms, and occasional asymmetry give the forms a slightly idiosyncratic, handcrafted finish despite the overall polish.
It suits editorial design—magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes—where contrast and flared terminals can add sophistication. It’s also well suited to book covers, cultural posters, and premium branding in fashion or beauty, especially when used at display sizes or in short text where its refined detailing can be appreciated.
The tone is sophisticated and literary, with a fashion/editorial sheen that feels curated rather than utilitarian. Subtle quirks in terminals and modulation add personality and a touch of drama, keeping it from reading as purely classical or austere.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with flared, calligraphic modulation, producing an elegant display-forward texture that remains readable in text. Its controlled narrowness and crisp contrast suggest a focus on distinctive typographic color for editorial and branding contexts.
The font’s contrast and delicate hairlines make spacing and background important; it reads best when given room and printed or rendered at sizes that preserve the fine strokes. The italic is not shown; the sample suggests a consistent roman voice with expressive punctuation and diacritics.
