This serif shows a strongly calligraphic, flared construction with very thin hairlines against fuller verticals and smooth, swelling curves. Serifs read as tapered and blade-like rather than bracketed blocks, giving many strokes a drawn, pen-like finish. Round letters are open and clean with sharp, controlled terminals, and joins stay crisp, producing a polished rhythm in text. The lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with long, slender ascenders/descenders and generous counters, while the numerals follow the same refined contrast and narrow set.
It suits display work where fine contrast can be appreciated—magazine headlines, book and journal titling, pull quotes, and upscale branding. It can also work for short-form text in print or high-resolution digital settings, especially when paired with a sturdier companion for longer passages.
The overall tone is elegant and cultivated, with a fashion/editorial sensibility. Its airy contrast and tapered endings feel refined and slightly dramatic, suggesting sophistication rather than sturdiness. The voice is modern-classic: poised, quiet, and luxurious.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif proportions with a distinctly flared, calligraphic stroke logic, prioritizing elegance and a tailored silhouette. It aims to deliver a premium, editorial feel through sharp detailing, tapered serifs, and a disciplined rhythm across cases and figures.
In the grid, the capitals and numerals appear especially sleek and display-oriented, while the lowercase retains readability through open apertures and consistent modulation. Diacritics are not shown; punctuation in the sample demonstrates the same sharp, delicate finishing on terminals and serifs.
