A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation, giving the letterforms a polished, print-oriented feel. Serifs are fine and sharp with a lightly bracketed transition into stems, and terminals often finish with small beaks or tapered flicks. The proportions read open and slightly broad, with steady vertical stress and a calm, upright stance. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and interior counters stay clean, creating a bright, airy rhythm at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, book covers, and section openers where contrast and refinement are assets. It can also support premium branding, invitations, and poster typography that benefits from a classic, high-end serif voice.
The overall tone is elegant and cultivated, leaning toward traditional publishing aesthetics. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted terminals add a sense of formality and sophistication, while the open proportions keep it from feeling overly dense or antique.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with heightened elegance for display and headline use, emphasizing sharp contrast, precise finishing, and readable, open proportions.
Uppercase forms show stately, inscriptional structure, while the lowercase introduces more warmth through subtly calligraphic details (notably in bowls, beaked terminals, and the two-storey a). Numerals follow the same contrast logic with clear, bookish shapes suited to prominent settings.
