This typeface is a flared serif with slender, tapering strokes and subtly swelling terminals that create a gentle “wedge” finish rather than abrupt slab endings. Serifs are small and bracketed, with a restrained, sculpted feel that keeps the letterforms crisp at display sizes. Uppercase proportions are relatively narrow and vertical, while the lowercase maintains a traditional book-face structure with a moderate x-height and clear ascenders/descenders. Curves are smooth and measured, and joins show slight calligraphic modulation, giving the overall texture an even, airy rhythm in text.
It performs especially well in editorial settings—book typography, magazine features, and article headlines—where an elegant serif texture is desired. The narrow, upright capitals and refined lowercase also make it a strong choice for titles, pull quotes, and formal collateral such as invitations or programs, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the flared details remain visible.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a calm formality that reads as classic without feeling heavy. Its restrained detailing and tapered terminals suggest editorial seriousness and a quiet sophistication rather than overt ornament. The impression is refined and thoughtful—well suited to contexts where typographic nuance should support, not dominate, the message.
The design appears intended to capture a traditional serif reading experience while adding a distinctive flared-terminal signature for character and clarity. It aims for an elegant, contemporary interpretation of classic proportions, prioritizing a clean rhythm, controlled modulation, and a refined finish suitable for curated typography.
In the sample text, spacing and stroke delicacy produce a light page color, and the flared terminals help keep strokes from feeling brittle. The numerals follow the same tapered logic, appearing balanced and consistent with the letterforms’ understated, high-contrast cues.
