This typeface presents a delicate serif construction with tapered strokes and subtly flared terminals that widen as they meet the baseline and cap line. Serifs read as fine, wedge-like forms rather than blunt slabs, and the overall stroke modulation stays controlled, with crisp transitions and clean joins. Proportions are tall and gently condensed, giving letters a vertical, high-waisted profile; round forms (C, O) appear slightly narrow, while spacing remains even and measured. Lowercase shows open counters and a straightforward, readable skeleton, with restrained extenders and compact bowls that maintain a consistent rhythm across text.
It is well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, long-form articles, and book typography where a refined, unobtrusive serif is desired. The delicate, flared finish also makes it a strong choice for cultural branding, packaging with a premium tone, and formal materials like invitations or programs. It performs best where generous leading and careful sizing can preserve its fine detailing.
The tone is poised and literary, combining a calm classicism with a light, contemporary airiness. Its thin, tapered detailing and flared endings add a sense of finesse and formality without feeling ornate. Overall it suggests cultured editorial typography—quietly expressive, polite, and precise.
The design intent appears to be a modern, text-capable serif that borrows from calligraphic tapering and flared endings to create elegance without heavy ornament. It aims for a measured, readable rhythm while keeping a distinctive, lightly stylized silhouette that stands out in headlines and maintains composure in paragraphs.
Capitals have a graceful, calligraphic influence in their stroke endings, and diagonals (V, W, X) feel sharp yet controlled. Numerals are slim and elegant, matching the letterforms’ refined verticality and maintaining clear differentiation at text sizes. In the sample text, the type keeps a consistent color and avoids harsh dark spots, emphasizing smooth line flow.
