A delicate, high-contrast roman with crisp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that read as serif-like without heavy bracketed slabs. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while verticals stay clean and steady, creating a polished rhythm across text. Proportions feel moderately wide with open apertures in letters like c and e, and the lowercase shows a clear two-story a and g with a lightly calligraphic modulation. Numerals are elegant and proportional, with thin hairlines and rounded bowls that match the letterforms’ refined stroke behavior.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and book cover titling where a refined texture and clear word shapes are important. It can also support premium branding and packaging, especially when used at display and subhead sizes where the thin strokes and tapered terminals remain crisp.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, balancing modern restraint with a hint of classical elegance. It feels thoughtful and composed rather than loud, lending a cultured, bookish character to both headlines and longer reading passages.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, contemporary reading experience with elevated detail—using contrast and tapered terminals to create sophistication while keeping forms open and legible in continuous text.
Distinctive details include the sweeping tail on Q, the curved descender on y, and a gently hooked j that add personality without disrupting consistency. Diacritics and punctuation shown in the sample maintain the same fine-line sharpness, reinforcing a cohesive, carefully finished texture.
