This typeface uses slender, high-contrast strokes with a distinctly calligraphic construction. Curves taper into sharp, blade-like terminals, while verticals and diagonals feel slightly flared, giving characters a sculpted, pen-drawn presence. Uppercase forms are clean and stately with generous counters (notably in C, O, and Q), and the lowercase shows a classic text rhythm with a single-storey g and a compact, slightly pointed e. Numerals follow the same delicate, tapered logic, with open, flowing shapes and fine finishing strokes.
Well-suited to display settings where its crisp contrast and tapered terminals can be appreciated—such as book covers, editorial headlines, pull quotes, and short passages in magazines. It can also support refined event materials like invitations or programs, especially when paired with ample leading and conservative tracking.
The overall tone is refined and literary, mixing formality with a lightly handwritten character. Its thin hairlines and pointed endings create a sense of precision and elegance, while the subtly drawn, organic modulation keeps it from feeling purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to evoke a hand-drawn, calligraphic elegance within a readable print structure, combining classical proportions with expressive, sharpened terminals for a distinctive, upscale voice.
In text, the spacing reads open and bright, and the contrast draws attention to joins and terminals, producing a sparkling texture at larger sizes. The sharp finishing strokes and delicate connections suggest it will look best when given room to breathe rather than being packed tightly.
