This serif typeface shows pronounced stroke contrast with thin hairlines and stronger verticals, paired with gently flared, bracketed terminals that soften the joins. Curves are smooth and open, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that reads clearly in both capitals and lowercase. Proportions feel balanced and moderately narrow-to-standard, while spacing and rhythm are even, giving text a calm, continuous flow. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, mixing delicate joins with sturdier main strokes for a cohesive set.
It suits editorial design, long-form book typography, and magazine settings where a refined serif voice is desired. The crisp contrast also makes it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and upscale branding, especially in print contexts where fine details can be preserved.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting a composed, high-end sensibility. Its sharpness and fine hairlines suggest sophistication, while the subtle flaring keeps it from feeling overly rigid or mechanical.
The design appears intended to combine classic high-contrast serif elegance with softer, flared finishing, aiming for a cultivated reading texture and a premium, editorial character without resorting to heavy or blocky endings.
Capitals have a stately presence with clean, tapered horizontals and neatly controlled serifs; the lowercase maintains readability through open counters and consistent modulation. The ‘g’ and ‘a’ appear single-storey, contributing a slightly more contemporary, humanist feel within an otherwise traditional serif voice.
