A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a gently calligraphic, flared treatment where strokes broaden into terminals. Serifs are sharp and neatly bracketed, with crisp wedge-like endings that keep counters open and letterforms airy. Proportions feel traditional and balanced, with a steady vertical rhythm in capitals and slightly more varied, lively shapes in the lowercase. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, showing clear stroke hierarchy and elegant curves.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine and newspaper-style headlines, and book or journal covers where high-contrast serif detail can shine. It also works for formal communications such as invitations or branding wordmarks that want a classic, polished presence, especially at display and larger text sizes.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, projecting a bookish, editorial confidence. Its crisp hairlines and sculpted terminals add a touch of formality and luxury without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, emphasizing sculpted terminals and controlled elegance. It prioritizes a refined page texture and clear hierarchy between thick stems and hairlines for sophisticated reading and display settings.
In text, the design maintains a clean baseline and consistent spacing, while the strong contrast creates a sparkling texture at larger sizes. The lowercase shows classic details—such as a two-storey "a" and a looped "g"—that reinforce a traditional reading-centric feel.
