This is a high-contrast serif with thin, hairline horizontals and sharply tapered joins that create a crisp, engraved feel. Serifs are small and neatly bracketed, often ending in pointed terminals rather than blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with pronounced modulation through bowls and arches; counters stay open and well-shaped. Proportions are traditional and text-oriented, with relatively narrow capitals, a moderate x-height, and clear ascenders and descenders that give the lowercase a lively vertical rhythm. Numerals match the text color with similarly delicate top strokes and fuller main stems, keeping a consistent, refined texture in running text.
Well-suited for editorial design, book typography, and magazine work where an elegant, classical serif voice is appropriate. It can also serve refined display roles—such as invitations, cultural branding, and section headings—especially where the high contrast can be showcased without losing the finest strokes.
The overall tone is poised and literary, suggesting classic editorial typography with a touch of decorative sharpness. It reads as cultured and formal, suited to contexts where a sense of tradition and polish is desired rather than neutrality or utilitarianism.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with heightened contrast and sharpened terminals for added sophistication. It balances traditional proportions with a slightly decorative finish to stand out in titles and pull quotes while remaining credible in continuous text.
Distinctive pointed terminals on several letters add a slightly dramatic edge while remaining controlled and consistent. In paragraphs, the strong contrast produces a shimmering texture; it looks best when given enough size and print-like rendering to preserve the hairlines.
