This serif features pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp hairlines and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. Capitals are tall and stately with a slightly sculpted, classical construction; curves show controlled stress and clean terminals. Lowercase forms are compact and readable, with a two-storey a, a compact e, and a narrow, pointed w; the italic is not shown, and the roman remains firmly upright. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine entry strokes that feel designed for display as well as text.
It suits editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary publishing where a refined, high-contrast serif is desirable. It also performs well for branding, logotypes, and headlines that need a classic yet contemporary voice, especially in print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The overall tone is polished and bookish, combining traditional authority with a modern, fashion-forward sharpness. It reads as formal and confident, with enough delicacy in the hairlines to feel premium and editorial.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and a refined finish, balancing classic proportions with sharper detailing to project sophistication. Its forms suggest an aim for versatile editorial use: dignified enough for long-form reading, yet expressive enough for prominent titles and branding.
The design’s contrast and fine details create a lively rhythm at larger sizes, while the steady proportions and conventional lettershapes keep it composed in paragraph settings. Distinctive moments include a stylish Q tail and crisp, tapered joins in letters like k, v, and y that add sophistication without becoming ornate.
