A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and sturdier verticals, featuring gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs. The letterforms are compact and poised, with moderate proportions, smooth curves, and precise joins that keep counters open and clean. Uppercase forms feel stately and controlled, while the lowercase introduces a slightly calligraphic rhythm through angled terminals, a two-storey "g," and crisp, pointed details in letters like "a," "e," and "k." Numerals follow the same refined contrast and sharp finishing, reading clearly at text and display sizes.
It works well for editorial typography—magazines, books, and cultural publications—where its contrast and crisp finishing bring clarity and elegance to text. In larger sizes it makes confident headlines and pull quotes, and it can also support refined branding and packaging where a classic, premium voice is needed.
The overall tone is polished and literary, leaning toward traditional book typography with a hint of modern sharpness. Its crisp terminals and flared endings add a cultivated, editorial feel suited to sophisticated branding and long-form reading.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif conventions with flared, calligraphic finishing to achieve both readability and a distinctive, upscale character. It aims for a controlled, formal rhythm in text while providing enough contrast and sharp detail to perform in display settings.
Spacing appears even and measured, supporting a steady text color in paragraphs while still allowing the sharp hairlines and flared terminals to sparkle at larger sizes. The shapes balance formal structure with subtle gesture, avoiding overly ornate or eccentric features.
