A crisp serif with pronounced contrast between hairlines and main strokes, combining sharp wedge-like serifs with subtly flared stroke endings. Curves are smooth and open, with a controlled, slightly condensed rhythm and clear vertical emphasis. Capitals feel stately and balanced, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions with a compact, readable texture and neat, pointed terminals in letters like a, c, e, and s. Numerals echo the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and finely tapered joins.
Well-suited to magazine typography, essays, and book interiors where an elevated, traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines and subheads, and can support premium branding, packaging, or cultural-institution materials where refinement and authority matter.
The overall tone is polished and classical, suggesting bookish authority and quiet luxury. It reads as formal and composed rather than playful, with a distinctly editorial voice suited to sophisticated, text-forward design.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a classic, high-end reading experience with a touch of expressive flare at stroke endings, balancing literary tradition with a slightly sharpened, contemporary finish.
The design leans on sharp, clean finishing—thin hairlines and narrow apertures are present, so it benefits from adequate size and print-friendly contexts where fine detail can hold up. The flaring and serif shaping add a subtle display character even in paragraph settings.
