A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered stroke endings that read as subtly flared rather than blunt. Serifs are fine and controlled, with sharp terminals and a clean, high-contrast silhouette throughout. Proportions are compact and vertically oriented, with smooth curves, tight apertures in letters like C and S, and an overall even rhythm in text. Numerals match the letterforms’ refinement, using slender forms and clear contrast for a consistent color on the page.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book titling where high-contrast detail can be appreciated. It can also support upscale branding, invitations, and formal announcements, particularly when generous spacing and clean reproduction preserve its fine strokes.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone—quietly luxurious and traditional without feeling overly ornate. Its sharp finishing and measured contrast suggest formality and careful editing, with a calm, authoritative presence suited to cultured contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, classic reading of a high-contrast serif, emphasizing elegant modulation and tapered, flared endings for a premium, text-forward voice. It aims for sophistication and clarity in display and larger text settings, with consistent detailing across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
In the sample text, the type maintains clarity and a composed texture at display sizes, with punctuation and the ampersand harmonizing in the same fine, tapered detailing. The overall impression is precise and composed, with edges that stay crisp and controlled rather than calligraphically soft.
