A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and more assertive verticals, producing a crisp, refined color in text. Stems often finish with subtly flared, wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed serifs, giving the shapes a sculpted, calligraphic feel rather than a purely mechanical construction. Proportions are balanced and readable, with open counters and smooth curves in rounds like O/C, while the capitals show a dignified, bookish stance. The numerals appear lining with similarly sharp joins and tapered details that keep them consistent with the letterforms.
Well-suited for display and editorial settings such as magazine headlines, book covers, pull quotes, and refined brand identities where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short-to-medium text passages in print or high-resolution contexts that preserve the thin hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with an upscale, editorial voice. Its sharp hairlines and flared endings lend a sense of tradition and ceremony, while the clean rhythm keeps it contemporary enough for modern layouts.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif readability with a more expressive, flared finishing logic, creating a premium look that stands out in titles while remaining composed in continuous text.
In the sample text, the contrast and fine terminals create a lively texture at display sizes, with particularly elegant diagonals in V/W/X and a distinctive, sweeping Q tail. The lowercase shows a steady cadence; the two-storey a and single-storey g contribute to a classic reading feel, and punctuation maintains the same crisp, tapered detailing.
