A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and confidently weighted verticals, paired with tapered, flared stroke endings that read as softly bracketed rather than blunt. Curves are smooth and generous, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that keeps counters open and the texture light on the page. Serifs and terminals feel sculpted and sharp, giving the shapes a crisp edge while maintaining a flowing rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals match the letterforms’ contrast and elegance, with clear, bookish proportions.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and other settings that benefit from a refined serif texture. It also performs nicely for display applications such as headlines, pull quotes, cultural branding, and formal stationery where contrast and crisp terminals can be shown at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking editorial refinement and a sense of tradition without feeling heavy. Its airy contrast and graceful terminals lend a poised, cultured voice suited to sophisticated branding and reading-oriented settings.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif proportions with subtly flared, tapered endings to achieve elegance and clarity. Its controlled contrast and disciplined shapes suggest a focus on producing a sophisticated text color while retaining distinctive, sculpted terminals for display impact.
The font shows a calm, even cadence in text, with tall, dignified capitals and a lowercase that stays readable at display-to-text sizes thanks to open bowls and restrained detailing. The flared/tapered endings add character without introducing ornamental fuss, keeping the color consistent and the silhouettes clean.
