A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and sturdy, swelling main strokes that subtly flare into the terminals. Serifs are finely bracketed and sharp, giving the outlines a carved, calligraphic feel rather than a blunt slab structure. The proportions read on the wide side, with generous letterspacing and open counters; capitals feel stately and slightly expansive, while lowercase maintains a conventional, readable structure. Curves are smooth and round, and joins stay clean, producing a polished rhythm in continuous text.
Performs best in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other typographic moments where contrast and detail can be appreciated at moderate-to-large sizes. It also suits book covers, cultural branding, and formal printed pieces that benefit from a classic, crafted serif voice. For long text, it works well when set with comfortable size and leading to preserve the delicacy of the hairlines.
The tone is refined and literary, with a confident, old-world formality. Its sharp finishing details and dramatic stroke modulation lend it a luxurious, high-end presence suited to cultural and editorial contexts rather than utilitarian UI work.
The design appears aimed at delivering a sophisticated serif voice with pronounced stroke modulation and finely finished terminals, balancing classic editorial authority with a slightly decorative, contemporary crispness.
Round glyphs like O and Q show pronounced contrast and careful stress, while the Q’s tail adds a distinctive, decorative accent. Numerals carry the same contrast-driven construction and feel suited to display and editorial use where sparkle and hierarchy are desired.
