A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering curves. Stems remain relatively slender while strokes swell into subtly flared, bracketed endings rather than blunt slabs, giving the serifs a carved, calligraphic feel. Capitals are spacious and airy with broad bowls (C, O, Q) and sharp diagonal structure in V/W/Y, while lowercase shows smooth, rounded forms with open apertures and a traditional two-storey a. Figures follow the same high-contrast rhythm, with curved numerals showing fine hairlines and controlled swell points.
Well suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, long-form articles, and magazine layouts where a refined serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and upscale branding applications that benefit from high contrast and sculpted stroke endings.
The overall tone is refined and literary, projecting an editorial, bookish confidence rather than a loud display attitude. Its sharp contrasts and flared endings suggest classic, cultured settings—poised and slightly dramatic—without feeling ornate.
Likely intended to blend classic serif authority with a softer, more hand-influenced finish through flared terminals and bracketed serifs. The goal appears to be an elegant, high-contrast reading face that also carries enough character for display use.
The design maintains a consistent, elegant rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, with generous interior space and clean joins that keep it readable at text sizes while still showing personality at larger sizes. The flare at stroke ends is a defining detail, adding warmth and motion compared with a purely transitional serif.
