A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and fuller main strokes, set with a relatively open, spacious rhythm. Serifs are sharp and tapered, often with wedge-like terminals that give edges a calligraphic snap without becoming ornate. The proportions lean wide and airy, with generous counters (notably in O, Q, and e) and a steady, upright stance; overall texture is elegant but not rigid, with subtle idiosyncrasies in curves and terminals.
Well-suited for magazine and book titling, pull quotes, posters, and brand headlines where a refined serif with personality is desired. It also works for short-to-medium passages in high-quality layouts, especially when ample size and leading are available to let the hairlines and sharp serifs reproduce cleanly.
This typeface conveys a poised, editorial tone with a hint of eccentricity. Its refined contrast and delicate finishing details feel literary and cultured, while the slightly unconventional serif behavior adds personality rather than strict formality.
The design appears intended to deliver an upscale serif voice that stands out through contrast and distinctive terminal shaping. It aims to balance readability with a decorative edge, offering an editorial feel that remains light on the page while preserving strong letterform presence at larger sizes.
The numerals appear similarly high-contrast and elegant, with smooth curves and fine terminals that align with the uppercase/lowercase styling. Overall spacing feels generous, contributing to a light, premium texture in the sample text.
