A high‑contrast serif with slender hairlines, firmer vertical stems, and a clear vertical stress. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with crisp, pointed terminals that give the forms a polished edge. Capitals feel tall and composed with generous internal space, while the lowercase shows long ascenders and compact, tidy joins that keep the rhythm even in text. Curves are smooth and controlled (notably in C, G, S, and O), and the numerals follow the same refined contrast and proportion, with a distinctive, elegant 2 and a curled 3/5 style.
Well suited to editorial design—magazines, journal layouts, and book typography—where its contrast and fine details can add sophistication. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and brand identities that need a premium, classic serif voice, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines can shine.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, leaning toward classic bookish elegance and contemporary editorial sophistication. It reads as formal without feeling stiff, projecting quiet authority and a fashion-forward refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, text-forward serif with elevated contrast and carefully finished terminals, balancing legibility with a distinctly refined, display-ready personality.
The font maintains a consistent contrast pattern across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a coherent texture in paragraph settings. Details like the sweeping Q tail and the sharp diagonal energy in V/W/X add a touch of drama that suits display use while the steady lowercase cadence supports continuous reading.
