This typeface is a high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and fuller main strokes, producing a crisp, elegant rhythm on the page. Serifs are tapered and subtly flared, often finishing in sharp, wedge-like terminals rather than blunt slabs, and many joins show gentle bracketing that softens the contrast transitions. Proportions feel classical with balanced capitals and a moderate x-height; round letters are smooth and open, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are clean and pointed. The lowercase shows a calligraphic influence in details like the ear and terminals, with a single-storey “g” and a delicate, curved-descender “y,” and the figures mix narrow and wide forms for an old-style, text-oriented color.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, book titles and interior text at comfortable sizes, and brand identities that want a literary or fashion-forward voice. It can also serve for premium packaging and cultural/event materials where a refined serif texture is desirable.
Overall the tone is cultured and editorial, combining elegance with a slightly sharp, contemporary edge. The flared endings and fine hairlines lend a poised, premium feel suited to refined typography rather than utilitarian UI styling.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with subtly flared, sharply tapered terminals to create a distinctive, elegant reading texture. It prioritizes sophistication and letterform clarity, aiming for an editorial voice that feels both traditional and current.
In paragraph settings the contrast and tapered terminals create lively texture and distinct letterforms, while the thins may require sufficient size and print/display conditions to avoid breaking up. The numerals and capitals feel designed to sit comfortably in traditional text while still reading as modern due to the crisp terminal treatment.
