A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and sturdier verticals, showing a subtly calligraphic, flared finishing on many strokes. Serifs read as bracketed and tapered rather than blocky, giving terminals a sculpted, chiseled feel. Proportions are moderately narrow with a steady, text-oriented rhythm, and counters stay open despite the strong thick–thin modulation. Capitals are stately and clean, while the lowercase maintains a traditional structure with a two-storey a and g and a compact, orderly texture in words.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a refined serif texture is desired. It also suits headlines, pull quotes, and premium brand identities that benefit from sharp contrast and a classic, cultivated voice.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a fashion-and-editorial sophistication. Its crisp contrast and sculpted endings suggest formality and authority without feeling overly ornate, making it feel suited to premium, curated contexts.
The font appears designed to provide a traditional serif reading experience with added sophistication through flared, calligraphic stroke endings and crisp contrast. The intention seems to balance elegance for display with enough regularity and openness to remain comfortable in continuous text.
The design shows pronounced stroke modulation in diagonals and joins (notably in letters like N, V, W, and y), which adds sparkle at display sizes while keeping an even paragraph color in the sample text. Numerals appear lining and proportionally integrated with the capitals, matching the same refined contrast and tapered details.
