A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and firm, sculpted main strokes that subtly broaden into flared endings. Serifs are bracketed and tapered rather than blunt, giving the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned with sharp apexes and clean curves; the lowercase shows a balanced x-height, open counters, and a steady rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with elegant curves and fine detailing in the joins and terminals.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and magazine typography where high-contrast serifs add sophistication and hierarchy. It can also serve branding and display headlines effectively, especially at sizes that let the fine hairlines and tapered details remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining traditional bookish authority with a slightly dramatic, fashion-adjacent sharpness. Its contrast and refined detailing read as premium and composed, suited to settings where elegance and clarity are both expected.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif texture through crisp contrast and subtly flared stroke endings, delivering an elegant reading voice that also scales to confident display use.
In longer text, the pronounced contrast and fine hairlines create a lively texture, while the sturdy verticals keep the page color from becoming too delicate. Curved letters (like C, G, O, S) show smooth modulation, and the design keeps a consistent, restrained energy without overt ornament.
