A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that often flare subtly as they meet the stems. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while terminals sharpen into wedge-like endings, giving the outlines a slightly calligraphic bite without appearing script-like. Uppercase forms feel stately and open, with wide bowls and controlled horizontals; lowercase shows a traditional two-storey a and g, compact joins, and clear, vertical stress. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant, tapered strokes and ample interior space.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book covers, and section heads where contrast and elegance are an asset. It also fits branding and packaging that aims for a classic, premium impression, and works effectively for display lines and pull quotes where its crisp terminals and flared serif details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, evoking classic book typography and high-end editorial design. Its sharp terminals and controlled contrast add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, while the open counters keep it from feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif voice: traditional proportions and forms paired with sharper, more tapered terminals and subtly flared serif connections for a refined, contemporary finish.
In the sample text, the letterforms maintain consistent rhythm and texture at larger sizes, with distinctive wedge terminals in letters like f, r, and y and a clean, slightly formal ampersand. The contrast and fine hairlines suggest it will look best when given enough size or printing clarity to preserve delicate strokes.
