A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give the letters a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Serifs are bracketed and crisp rather than slabby, with hairline horizontals and diagonals contrasted against sturdy main stems. Curves are smooth and slightly elliptical, producing a polished rhythm in text, while capitals feel stately with confident verticals and clean joins. Numerals echo the same contrast and finishing, with open forms and fine hairlines that read best when given enough size and space.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazines, books, essays, and cultural journalism—where its high contrast and crisp serifs can contribute to a premium page color. It also works effectively for branding, invitations, and headline settings that benefit from a classic, polished voice, especially at medium to larger sizes.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, with a bookish, editorial elegance. Its sharp finishing and dramatic contrast add a slightly formal, fashion-leaning sophistication while remaining composed and legible in continuous reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical serif construction: strong vertical structure paired with hairline refinement and flared finishing for elegance and energy. It aims to provide an upscale reading and display texture that feels familiar, articulate, and premium.
In paragraphs, the texture is lively due to the pronounced thick–thin transitions and tapered terminals, which create a sparkling highlight pattern across lines. The design balances classic proportions with modern crispness, avoiding heavy ornament while still feeling expressive.
