This typeface presents a slender, high-waisted silhouette with subtly tapered strokes and clear thick–thin modulation. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, while straight stems stay crisp, giving letters a gently animated rhythm rather than a purely geometric feel. Terminals often flare or soften into wedge-like endings, and counters remain open, helping the design read cleanly even with its contrasted drawing. Overall spacing feels even, with a consistent vertical emphasis and a composed, text-friendly texture.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where a refined, composed texture is desirable. It also works for branding, headlines, and posters that want a classic, cultured voice with a bit of movement and contrast, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is refined and editorial, balancing restraint with a hint of hand-drawn liveliness. Its contrast and flared endings add a classic, slightly literary character without becoming ornate, making it feel polished and thoughtful rather than blunt or industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver a calm, readable voice with elevated finish—combining a narrow footprint with measured contrast and softened, flared terminals to create an editorial tone that feels contemporary yet rooted in traditional letterform logic.
The figures follow the same contrasted logic as the letters, with narrow proportions and clear forms that sit comfortably alongside the lowercase. Diagonals and joins (as seen in letters like K, V, W, and x) keep a sharp, clean cut, reinforcing an overall crisp, print-oriented impression.
