A delicate serif with pronounced contrast between hairlines and main strokes, showing a crisp, polished rhythm across text. Stems often ease into subtly flared terminals and sharp wedge-like serifs, giving edges a lively, calligraphic finish rather than a blunt cut. Proportions are generous and open, with a relatively narrow default stroke presence and ample interior space in counters, helping the forms feel airy and composed. The italic is not shown; the roman maintains clean vertical stress and consistent, fine joinery where curves meet stems.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a light, articulate text color is desired—magazines, long-form features, and book interiors with comfortable leading. Its high-contrast detailing and refined serifs also make it effective for display use such as headlines, pull quotes, and sophisticated brand wordmarks, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone feels poised and cultured, balancing classical bookish manners with a slightly expressive, crafted edge from the flared endings and sharp serifs. It reads as formal without feeling heavy, suggesting quiet luxury and editorial sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic reading voice with a contemporary crispness, using flared terminals and sharp serifs to add character while keeping overall letterforms disciplined and highly legible.
Uppercase forms present a stately presence with clean, tapered serifs and smooth curves, while lowercase details (notably the ear and terminals) introduce a more human, pen-informed character. Numerals appear similarly refined, with thin hairlines and elegant curves that match the text color of the letters.
