This serif shows a crisp, high-contrast construction with thin hairlines and stronger main strokes, producing a bright, polished page color at display sizes. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered terminals and pointed, calligraphic joins that give many letters a slightly sculpted, engraved feel. Capitals are tall and stately with generous interior space, while the lowercase keeps a traditional rhythm with moderate extenders and compact, carefully shaped counters. Curves are smooth and controlled, and diagonals (notably in V/W/Y) resolve into sharp, precise vertices that heighten the sense of finesse.
Well-suited to headlines, deck text, pull quotes, and other editorial applications where contrast and elegance are assets. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and event materials that benefit from a classic, refined serif voice. For long passages, it will typically perform best when set with comfortable size and spacing so the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is formal and cultured, leaning toward classic bookish elegance rather than rustic or utilitarian. Its contrast and sharp detailing evoke an editorial, fashion-forward sensibility, while the conventional proportions keep it grounded and familiar.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading texture while elevating it with pronounced contrast and finely cut details for a more luxurious, high-end impression. It balances classic proportions with sharper, more display-oriented refinement for contemporary editorial and brand use.
The numerals appear lining and proportionally varied, with distinctive, delicate detailing in forms like 2, 3, and 7 that reinforces the refined character. At smaller sizes, the very thin strokes and tight joins suggest it will look best when given enough size and printing/screen clarity to preserve the hairlines.
