A delicate serif face with pronounced stroke modulation and distinctly tapered, flared terminals. The design favors narrow proportions and open counters, with smooth, calligraphic transitions from thick to hairline strokes. Serifs are sharp and gently splayed rather than bracketed, giving many stems a subtly “widening” finish. Curves are clean and controlled, and the overall rhythm feels measured and airy, with crisp joins and a slightly formal, bookish silhouette in both upper- and lowercase.
This style works best for display and short-to-medium text settings where its contrast and fine terminals can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book titles, refined packaging, and formal invitations. It can also serve as an elegant text companion at comfortable sizes with adequate spacing and good print or high-resolution rendering.
The tone is polished and cultivated, evoking classic editorial typography and a restrained sense of luxury. Its thin hairlines and refined terminals add sophistication and a hint of old-world ceremony without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to combine classical serif structure with flared, calligraphy-informed stroke endings, producing an elegant face suited to sophisticated editorial and branding contexts while maintaining clarity through open, well-shaped counters.
Uppercase forms read stately and calm, while the lowercase introduces livelier calligraphic cues in letters like a, e, g, and y. Numerals appear similarly refined, with contrasting strokes and tapered details that keep them visually consistent with the text face.
