This typeface is a high-contrast serif with tapered, subtly flared stroke endings and finely bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and generously open, while joins stay clean and sharp, giving the letterforms a crisp, airy texture at text sizes. Proportions feel traditional and bookish: capitals are stately with moderate width, and the lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic rhythm, with rounded bowls, a two-storey “a,” and a softly angled stress that reads naturally in continuous text. Numerals are lining and similarly high-contrast, with elegant curves and compact spacing that stays even across the set.
It suits book and long-form editorial typography where a refined, classical voice is desired, and it also performs well for magazine features and elegant headlines. The crisp contrast and graceful numerals make it appropriate for invitations, programs, and other formal print-forward materials.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, with a distinctly editorial, literary feel. Its contrast and flared finishing lend it a sense of sophistication and formality without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to translate a traditional, calligraphy-informed serif into a clean contemporary text face, emphasizing elegant contrast, readable counters, and subtly flared finishing for a distinctive yet familiar page color.
The face maintains consistent contrast and terminal treatment across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive texture in paragraphs. The flaring at stroke ends and the delicate hairlines suggest it will look best where printing or rendering can preserve fine detail.
