A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, hairline finishing strokes. Stems taper into subtle flared endings, giving many strokes a gently widened exit rather than blunt terminals. Capitals are classical and open, with crisp apexes and restrained curvature; the round letters show smooth, controlled bowls and a calm, even rhythm. The lowercase keeps a traditional book-seriffed structure with modest extenders, narrow joins, and a clean, slightly calligraphic stroke flow that stays consistent across text and figures.
This design is well suited to editorial typography—magazines, books, and long-form layouts—where its contrast and refined detailing can support a sophisticated voice. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and luxury-oriented branding when given adequate size and spacing so the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and composed, suggesting editorial sophistication and a quietly luxurious feel. Its sharpness and airy contrast read as formal and premium, while the flared stroke endings add a hint of craft and warmth rather than pure austerity.
The type appears designed to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice grounded in classical proportions, using flared stroke endings to add nuance and distinction. It aims for elegance and readability through disciplined forms, balanced spacing, and a consistent high-contrast rhythm.
In the text sample, the light hairlines and tapered terminals create strong sparkle and vertical emphasis, especially in mixed-case passages and around punctuation. The figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes that suit display and carefully set text.
