A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden into terminals. The design shows a clear vertical axis and calligraphic modulation, with slender hairlines and weight concentrated in main stems. Uppercase letters feel stately and structured with open counters and clean joins, while the lowercase has a relatively tall x-height for this genre, keeping word shapes compact and readable. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with elegant curves and sharp, tapered finishes.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book and long-form reading environments, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also perform effectively for display roles such as headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding that benefits from high-contrast elegance and crisp detailing.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, suggesting book typography and traditional print craft. Its sharpness and contrast give it a polished, slightly dramatic presence suited to sophisticated messaging rather than casual or utilitarian contexts.
The design appears intended to provide a contemporary take on a traditional, high-contrast serif: maintaining classical proportions and vertical stress while using sharpened terminals and gentle flare to add clarity and sophistication in modern layouts.
Curved letters (C, G, O, S) show smooth, controlled curves paired with pointed terminals, creating a bright, chiselled texture in text. Spacing and rhythm read as even in the paragraph sample, while the strong contrast makes the type feel best at comfortable text sizes and above.
