This typeface is a high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and noticeably thicker verticals, producing a crisp, engraved color on the page. Serifs are small and sharply finished with a subtly flared, tapered feel at stroke endings rather than blunt terminals, and many joins show gentle bracketing. Curves are smooth and slightly oval, with controlled modulation through bowls and diagonals; the lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a compact, clean e, and a narrow, pointed w/v structure. Numerals follow the same contrast and finishing, with elegant curves and delicate interior counters.
It suits editorial design—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and sophisticated layouts—where contrast and crisp finishing can shine. It can also work for book typography and long-form reading when set at comfortable sizes with adequate leading, and for premium branding where a classical serif voice is desired.
Overall it reads poised and cultivated, with a fashion/editorial polish and a quiet, bookish authority. The sharp hairlines and refined terminals give it a premium, classical tone without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: elegant, space-efficient, and sharply finished, with subtly flared stroke endings that add distinction. It prioritizes refined rhythm and detail for editorial and display-led typography.
At text sizes it creates a refined rhythm with bright counters and crisp edges; in larger settings the thin strokes and tapered endings become a defining detail. The mix of sharp terminals and soft bracketing keeps it formal while still slightly human in its stroke behavior.
