This typeface presents a delicate serif construction with noticeable stroke modulation and gently flared terminals that broaden at the ends rather than resolving into blunt slabs. Serifs are fine and tapered, with a crisp, sculpted feel that suggests calligraphic influence in the way strokes swell and release. Proportions run on the generous side, with open bowls and counters, and a measured rhythm that keeps letterforms clear even at larger text sizes. Ascenders and descenders are relatively long, and the overall drawing favors smooth curves and clean joins, giving the set a polished, contemporary finish.
It is well-suited to editorial typography where a refined voice is desired—magazine features, book interiors with generous leading, and display text such as headlines and pull quotes. The light, elegant construction also makes it a strong candidate for premium branding and packaging when used at sizes that allow the fine serifs and flared endings to remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, combining a classic bookish sensibility with a light, contemporary elegance. Its fine details and soft flaring create a graceful, slightly luxurious impression without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern serif with classical proportions and a distinctive flare at stroke endings, emphasizing elegance, readability in spacious settings, and a sophisticated editorial character.
Capitals feel stately and well-spaced, with rounded forms (like O and C) reading particularly expansive and smooth. Numerals match the same refined contrast and light touch, lending a cohesive, editorial feel across mixed text.
