A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and softly flared, bracketed stroke endings that read as carved rather than mechanical. Capitals are stately and moderately wide with generous interior counters, while the lowercase keeps a balanced, bookish rhythm with clear ascenders and descenders. Serifs taper into sharp terminals and the curves show a calligraphic sweep, giving bowls and shoulders a lively, slightly faceted tension. Numerals follow the same contrast and finish, with open forms and elegant curves that sit comfortably alongside text.
Well suited to magazine typography, book design, and refined editorial layouts where contrast and elegance are desirable. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and premium branding applications that benefit from a classic serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, suggesting literary sophistication and an editorial sensibility. Its high-contrast drama adds a touch of luxury, while the restrained proportions keep it composed rather than showy.
The design appears aimed at combining traditional serif authority with a more sculpted, calligraphic finish, using flared transitions and high contrast to create an upscale, editorial presence without sacrificing reading rhythm.
In paragraphs, the contrast and crisp terminals create a bright texture with distinct word shapes, especially in mixed-case settings. The flared joins and tapered serifs give strokes a subtly sculpted quality that stands out at display sizes and remains orderly in text.
