A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and sharp, tapered terminals. Stems and serifs show a subtly flared, sculpted finish rather than blunt cuts, giving strokes a chiseled, calligraphic feel. Curves are smooth and controlled, with compact apertures and a steady rhythm; the uppercase reads stately while the lowercase maintains a traditional, bookish texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with narrow joins and crisp endings that keep the set cohesive.
Well-suited for editorial typography, magazine layouts, and book covers where high-contrast detail can add sophistication. It also works for branding and headline settings that benefit from a classic, cultivated voice; in longer passages it will read best with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, combining classical book typography with a slightly dramatic, fashion-adjacent sharpness. It feels formal and composed, suited to settings where a sense of tradition and refinement is desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a timeless serif voice with heightened contrast and flared finishing, balancing classical structure with a more sculptural, display-friendly sharpness. It aims to look premium and literary while still functioning in text when set with care.
Diagonal letters (like V, W, X, Y) emphasize the contrast through needle-like joins and pointed terminals, increasing sparkle at display sizes. Round forms (C, G, O, Q) appear carefully tensioned with thin hairlines that add elegance, while the lowercase retains readability through conventional proportions and clear differentiation between similar shapes.
