A delicate serif with pronounced contrast between hairlines and thicker strokes, showing softly flared terminals that widen into tapered, ink-trap-like endings rather than blunt slabs. The letters are drawn with smooth, calligraphic transitions and a steady, upright posture, balancing sharp points in diagonals with rounded bowls that stay open and spacious. Serifs and stroke endings feel minimal and sculpted, giving the outlines a light, high-definition look; curves are clean and continuous, and counters remain generous, especially in round forms and numerals.
Best suited to magazine and book typography, refined branding, fashion or beauty packaging, and elegant invitations where thin strokes and high contrast can be preserved. It performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and larger settings where the flared endings and hairlines remain clear, and where ample whitespace supports its airy texture.
The overall tone is cultured and graceful, with a quiet luxury that reads as editorial and contemporary-classic rather than ornate. Its thin strokes and crisp finishing convey precision and sophistication, lending a calm, composed voice to headlines and carefully set display text.
The design appears intended to combine classical serif proportions with a modern, high-contrast delicacy, using flared terminals to add warmth and a subtly calligraphic finish. It aims for a premium, editorial voice that feels precise and contemporary while still referencing traditional letterforms.
Distinctive flaring at terminals and joins gives many letters a gentle “brushed” or engraved character, helping the design feel lively despite its light weight. In text, the rhythm stays even and measured, with a slightly formal cadence; numerals share the same refined contrast and rounded construction, keeping the set cohesive across letters and figures.
