A crisp serif with pronounced contrast and tapered, slightly flared terminals that give vertical strokes a subtly sculpted feel. Serifs read as sharp and delicately bracketed, with clean joins and a controlled, calligraphic modulation. Uppercase proportions are stately and relatively narrow, while the lowercase shows a notably tall x-height with open counters and a steady rhythm. Numerals are elegant and proportional, with thin hairlines and confident curves that match the text color of the alphabet.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and high-end brochures where contrast and tapering can read clearly at text sizes. It also works effectively for elegant headlines, pull quotes, and brand identities that need a classic yet contemporary serif voice.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, balancing classical bookish manners with a fresh, crisp finish. The tapered endings and high-contrast stroke flow suggest sophistication and careful craft rather than heaviness or rusticity.
The design appears intended to deliver a polished, literary serif with a strong vertical presence and refined stroke modulation. Its tall lowercase and controlled detailing aim to keep continuous reading comfortable while preserving an upscale, expressive silhouette.
Curves (notably in C, G, O, Q, and S) maintain smooth, even tension, while diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y stay sharp and well-aligned. The lowercase includes lively details such as a compact ear on g, a neat hooked j, and a slightly calligraphic f that add personality without disrupting consistency in paragraph settings.
