A delicate serif design with pronounced contrast between hairlines and main strokes, and subtly flared terminals that widen as strokes resolve. The serifs are fine and tapered, with crisp join behavior and smooth, calligraphic modulation that feels consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Capitals are well-proportioned and slightly wide in their round forms, while the lowercase keeps an even rhythm with open counters and a measured, readable texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing thin connecting strokes with stronger verticals and gently shaped curves.
This font is well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where an elegant, high-contrast serif can add sophistication without becoming overly ornate. It also works effectively for refined branding, packaging, and invitations—especially in headlines, pull quotes, and titling where the delicate hairlines and flared endings can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, projecting a quiet luxury rather than overt display. Its fine hairlines and flared finishing give it a classical, editorial voice with a touch of contemporary polish. The texture feels airy and composed, suited to sophisticated, text-forward settings.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with flared, calligraphic finishing, creating a refined reading face that feels premium and contemporary. It emphasizes graceful contrast and crisp detail to deliver an elevated voice for both display and text-forward applications.
Curves are drawn with a smooth, continuous stress, and the thinnest strokes are notably fine, giving the face a bright, sparkling page color at larger sizes. Round letters maintain generous internal space, while verticals remain disciplined, helping paragraphs feel orderly despite the light hairlines.
