A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions, crisp hairlines, and bracketed serifs that taper to sharp points. Curves are smooth and generously drawn, with a slightly modulated, calligraphic feel in the bowls and joins. The lowercase shows compact, neatly proportioned forms with clear counters and a two-storey “g” and “a,” while ascenders and capitals read tall and stately. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with strong vertical stress and fine finishing strokes that give a polished, print-like texture.
Well suited to magazine and book typography where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired, especially for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and titling. It also fits formal invitations and premium brand wordmarks, provided the setting allows enough size or print quality to preserve the hairlines.
The overall tone is formal and composed, projecting a classic, editorial sophistication. Its sharp detailing and bright hairlines add a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the steady rhythm keeps it credible for traditional typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a timeless, high-end reading and display voice—traditional in structure, but sharpened with strong contrast and precise finishing to feel contemporary in polished layouts.
Wide, open curves in letters like C, G, O, and Q create an airy elegance, contrasted by very fine connecting strokes and terminals that demand adequate size and good reproduction. The ampersand and uppercase punctuation-like details (e.g., Q tail, J and y descenders) add a slightly dramatic, display-leaning character without becoming ornamental.
