A refined serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and finely tapered hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, giving terminals a subtly sculpted, calligraphic finish rather than blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with generous apertures and an even, measured rhythm across text. The lowercase shows a traditional book-face structure with a two-storey a, a compact e with a sharp eye, and a g featuring a distinct upper bowl and rounded lower form; figures appear lining with similarly delicate transitions and tapered joins.
Well-suited to editorial systems such as magazines and journals, where its contrast and crisp serifs support a premium typographic voice. It can serve as a book text face at comfortable sizes, and it also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a classic, cultivated impression.
The overall tone is poised and literary, balancing classic book typography with a faintly contemporary sharpness in the hairlines and terminals. It feels formal without being austere, lending a sense of polish and authority to headings and longer passages alike.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with heightened finesse: sharp hairlines, bracketed/flared terminals, and carefully moderated proportions that keep text orderly while adding elegance in display contexts.
In the sample text, contrast and hairline delicacy become especially apparent at larger sizes, where the flared/bracketed endings add a subtle sparkle. The design maintains clarity in dense settings while preserving a dressy, high-end look in display use.
