This serif presents a crisp, high-contrast construction with slender hairlines and stronger main strokes. Serifs are fine and slightly flared with smooth, bracketed joins, giving terminals a subtly shaped, calligraphic finish rather than blunt cuts. Proportions are compact and measured, with a restrained lowercase and a tall, dignified uppercase that maintains steady vertical stress and consistent spacing. Numerals and capitals keep a sharp, clean silhouette, while the lowercase shows small, precise details (notably in the ear and tails) that add texture without becoming ornate.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also perform effectively in headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a classic, premium tone, especially when set with enough size and leading to let the thin strokes breathe.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with an understated formality that reads as literary and editorial. Its high-contrast rhythm and tapered endings lend a sense of sophistication suited to premium, print-minded typography.
The font appears designed to modernize a classic high-contrast serif model with gently flared, bracketed finishing, balancing traditional formality with a clean, contemporary precision for editorial and brand settings.
In text, the fine hairlines and narrow internal apertures create a bright, elegant color that benefits from comfortable sizes and good reproduction. The design’s controlled stroke modulation and subtly flared terminals help maintain clarity while preserving a distinctly refined character.
