A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that taper into sharp terminals. The proportions are generously set with wide capitals and ample sidebearings, creating an open rhythm across words and lines. Curves are smooth and controlled, with slender hairlines and sturdy main strokes; joins stay clean and uncluttered. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction with clear, traditional forms and lively curves.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book design, and other editorial settings where contrast and refinement are desirable. It also performs strongly in display sizes for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a classic, upscale serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and polished, leaning toward literary and editorial sophistication. Its strong contrast and airy spacing give it a composed, high-end feel suited to premium typography rather than utilitarian UI work.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, bookish serif experience with a more luxurious, contemporary polish—using strong contrast, crisp serifs, and roomy proportions to create an elevated typographic color.
Round letters show a calm, near-vertical stress, while diagonals and peaked forms (like V/W) appear taut and neatly finished. The lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture, with a compact feel in strokes contrasted against the generous overall set width.
