A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and weight concentrated in the verticals. Serifs are finely bracketed with subtle flaring into the stroke ends, producing a gently sculpted, chiseled feel rather than blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and taut, with sharp entry/exit terminals on many forms, and a lively modulation that reads as slightly calligraphic. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height; capitals feel stately and spacious while lowercase maintains clear counters and a steady, text-friendly rhythm.
Performs especially well in editorial contexts such as magazine features, book typography, and display settings where contrast can shine. It also suits premium branding and formal communications when a classic serif voice with a touch of sharpness is desired.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a polished, classic voice suited to formal, cultured settings. Strong contrast and pointed details add a hint of drama and sophistication, giving it an upscale, editorial character.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif authority with contemporary refinement, using flared, bracketed endings and high contrast to create a luxurious texture. It aims to deliver an elevated reading color at larger sizes while maintaining clear, recognizable letterforms for running text.
The italics are not shown; the sample emphasizes clean upright forms with pronounced contrast. Numerals appear proportional and stylized to match the text color, with elegant curves and decisive terminals that keep the design cohesive across letters and figures.
