This serif shows a calligraphic, high-contrast build with tapered, flared stroke endings that read as soft serifs rather than blunt terminals. Curves are smooth and slightly drawn-out, with pronounced swelling through verticals and hairline-thin joins and cross-strokes. Capitals feel stately and open, with generous counters and a measured rhythm; diagonals (V, W, X) are sharp and clean, while rounded forms (O, Q) maintain a calm, controlled oval. The lowercase balances readability with elegance, featuring a two-storey a and g, narrow entry/exit strokes, and lightly bracketed joins; numerals follow the same contrast and taper, with crisp tops and delicate foot strokes.
It is well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and cover titling where an elegant serif voice is needed. It also performs nicely for refined branding, invitations, and pull quotes, especially at headline and subhead sizes where the tapered detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting classic print traditions with a contemporary, polished finish. Its crisp contrast and tapered detailing convey formality and a sense of cultivated taste without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to combine classical serif proportions with a more sculpted, flared terminal treatment, creating a distinctive yet familiar reading texture. It aims for an upscale, editorial presence that remains legible while emphasizing contrast and graceful stroke endings.
Stroke modulation is consistent across letters and figures, with hairline details that become prominent at larger sizes. The design’s flare at terminals adds warmth and motion compared to purely sharp serifs, and the texture in text appears airy rather than dense.
