This serif shows a refined, high‑contrast construction with slender hairlines and confidently weighted verticals. Serifs are bracketed and often flare gently from the stems, creating tapered, slightly calligraphic endings rather than blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and generous, with teardrop-like joins in places and a crisp, controlled rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. The lowercase forms stay readable with open counters and a steady x-height, while capitals maintain a poised, display-friendly presence without feeling overly condensed.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book jackets, and feature typography where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can serve as a distinctive headline and subhead face, and also works for refined branding applications that want a classic yet contemporary serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, with an editorial sophistication that reads as premium and deliberate. Its contrast and flared finishing details add a subtly dramatic, fashion-forward edge while still feeling rooted in classical book typography.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with more expressive, flared stroke endings for a contemporary editorial look. Its controlled contrast and clean, bracketed details suggest a focus on elegance and hierarchy in layout-driven typography.
The italic is not shown; the sample emphasizes the roman’s strong modulation and the way its serifs and terminals carry the eye along lines of text. Numerals appear lining and proportioned for text and titling use, matching the letterforms’ sharp, elegant contrast.
