This typeface presents a refined serif construction with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered serifs that often flare softly from the main strokes. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, with sharp triangular apexes (notably in A and V/W) and smooth, round bowls that keep counters open. The lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with slightly calligraphic joins and tapered terminals; shapes like a, e, and g show clean, classic forms with clear apertures and balanced curves. Numerals appear lining and proportional, matching the letterforms’ contrast and finishing with similarly delicate, shaped terminals.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazines, and book typography where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also support branding and display headlines that benefit from sharp, elegant contrast and classic proportions, especially in larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, leaning toward a cultured, bookish elegance rather than overt ornament. Its high-contrast strokes and tapered endings give it a fashion/editorial sophistication, while the familiar serif skeleton keeps it grounded and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical serif: preserving traditional proportions and readability while emphasizing contrast, tapered serifs, and graceful terminals for a more luxurious, editorial finish.
In text, the strong contrast and fine hairlines create a lively texture that looks best when given comfortable size and spacing, allowing the delicate stroke endings and subtle flaring to remain crisp. Curved letters show consistent stress and smooth transitions, contributing to a cohesive, classical page color.
