A delicate serif face with pronounced stroke contrast and a calm vertical stance. Stems taper and subtly flare into the terminals, with softly bracketed serifs that feel drawn rather than mechanical. Curves are smooth and slightly taut, producing a measured rhythm in text; joins and apertures stay relatively tight, while capitals show generous, poised proportions. The numerals follow the same fine-hairline/firm-stem logic, keeping a consistent, polished color across mixed settings.
Well-suited to editorial and literary settings where a refined serif voice is needed, including magazine typography, book work, and formal communications. It also performs convincingly in display use—chapter titles, pull quotes, and elegant headlines—where the crisp contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is cultured and composed, leaning toward classic book typography with a slightly calligraphic finish. It reads as elegant and serious rather than playful, suggesting tradition, restraint, and a curated editorial sensibility.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with subtly calligraphic, flared stroke endings, creating an elegant face that feels traditional yet lively. Its narrow, carefully balanced forms suggest a focus on fitting comfortably into text while retaining a distinctive, high-finish character.
In the sample text, the contrast and fine terminals give a shimmering texture at larger sizes, while the narrow set and compact counters create a dense, sophisticated line. The flared endings help keep strokes from feeling brittle, adding warmth and continuity across stems and curves.
