A refined serif with slender stems, gently bracketed serifs, and subtly flared stroke endings that give verticals a tapered, calligraphic feel. Contrast is moderate and the rhythm is steady, with tall capitals and a relatively high-waisted lowercase that reads cleanly at text sizes. Curves are smooth and slightly tense, while terminals often finish in small hooks or soft wedges, lending a sharpened yet elegant silhouette. Figures follow the same slim, upright structure and remain consistent with the text color.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine features where a refined serif texture is desirable. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and formal announcements when paired with ample whitespace and careful tracking.
The overall tone is cultured and bookish, with a quiet formality that feels suited to editorial environments. The flared finishing and delicate detailing add a hint of classical charm without becoming ornate, projecting a composed, slightly historic voice.
Likely designed to provide a classical serif reading experience with added elegance from flared endings and lightly calligraphic detailing, balancing personality with disciplined text rhythm.
Ascenders and capitals feel prominent, creating a vertical emphasis that pairs well with generous line spacing. Several glyphs show distinctive terminal gestures (notably in curved letters and the ampersand), adding personality while keeping the texture even across longer passages.
