This typeface shows slender, tapering stems that broaden subtly into flared terminals, creating a chiseled, engraved feeling without heavy bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with moderate stroke modulation and a consistent, slightly calligraphic axis. Capitals are elegant and relatively tall, while lowercase forms are open and legible, with a two-storey “g” and a distinctive “Q” featuring a flowing, calligraphic tail. Numerals are similarly refined and slightly stylized, maintaining the same tapered stroke behavior and crisp finishing.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, essays, and longform reading where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also support upscale branding and packaging, especially for cultural, hospitality, or boutique contexts that benefit from an elegant, classical tone.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a quiet sense of tradition. Its lightness and flared endings add sophistication and a gentle, cultured warmth rather than stark modernity.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif proportions with gently flared, tapering stroke endings for a distinctive, elegant texture. It aims for a readable, composed paragraph rhythm while offering enough character in terminals and details to stand out in headings and brand applications.
Rhythm is even and text color stays light, giving paragraphs an airy texture suited to comfortable reading at display-to-text sizes. The flaring at stroke ends and the sharp, clean joins create a subtle engraved quality that reads as premium and editorial.
