A slender serif with gently tapering strokes and subtly flared terminals that read as softened wedges rather than hard, bracketed serifs. The contrast is moderate, with thin hairlines and slightly fuller verticals, and the overall rhythm feels airy due to narrow letterforms and generous internal counters. Curves are smooth and controlled, while verticals keep a steady, upright posture. Capitals appear tall and dignified, with crisp joins and restrained detailing; lowercase forms are compact with small, neat apertures and a calm, even texture in text.
This font works well for editorial typography where a refined, compact texture is desirable—magazine headlines, section titling, and pull quotes—especially when space is tight. It also suits book covers, cultural branding, invitations, and packaging that benefits from a classical, upscale voice. Best used at display and subhead sizes where the delicate hairlines and flared finishing can be appreciated.
The tone is cultured and understated, combining a bookish classicism with a lightly calligraphic grace. Its narrowness and delicate finishing give it a poised, boutique feel suited to sophisticated, editorial settings rather than loud display.
The design appears intended to offer an elegant, space-efficient serif with a distinctive flared finish—balancing classical proportion with a lightly calligraphic stroke model. Its narrow set and controlled contrast suggest a focus on sophisticated headings and compact, high-style typography.
The design leans on taper and flare to create structure without heavy serifs, which helps maintain clarity at larger sizes while keeping an elegant silhouette. Numerals are similarly narrow and refined, matching the text’s vertical emphasis and giving tables or dates a formal, composed appearance.
