A high-contrast serif with an upright stance and pronounced transition from thick verticals to hairline horizontals. Serifs are bracketed and subtly flared, with tapered stroke endings that feel carved rather than blunt. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while joins and apexes stay sharp, producing a clean, polished rhythm. The overall color is bright and open, with relatively delicate hairlines that emphasize a refined, display-leaning texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and other contexts where a refined serif voice is desired. It works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and premium branding systems, and can also serve for short-to-medium text at comfortable sizes where its delicate hairlines remain clear. The formal tone makes it a natural choice for invitations and cultural or academic materials.
The font conveys a classic, cultured tone associated with publishing and formal print. Its crisp contrast and poised serif treatment read as elegant and somewhat ceremonial, balancing tradition with a slightly sculpted, contemporary sharpness. It feels confident and premium without becoming ornate.
Likely designed to deliver a modernized classical serif feel: strong contrast, controlled proportions, and subtly flared, bracketed endings that add sophistication and a crafted finish. The letterforms aim for clarity and polish while preserving the traditional rhythm expected in high-end publishing.
The capitals present a stately presence with wide, calm curves (notably in C, O, Q) and crisp, triangular-like tapering in diagonals (such as V, W, X, Y). Lowercase forms maintain a smooth, bookish flow; the e and a are open and readable, while the g shows a more traditional, compact construction. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with fine horizontal strokes and confident curves that match the letterforms.
