A refined serif with sharp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that widen into delicate, bracketed serifs. The design shows pronounced thick–thin modulation, a crisp vertical stress, and smooth, sculpted curves that stay controlled rather than soft. Capitals are elegant and slightly condensed in feel, with clean joins and pointed apexes; the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with open counters and compact, tidy forms. Numerals are similarly polished, with slender horizontals and carefully shaped bowls that keep a consistent, dressy texture in text.
Well suited to magazine typography, book and journal covers, cultural and arts branding, and other headline-led layouts where contrast and fine terminals can be appreciated. It also works for short to medium text blocks in print-like settings where a polished, literary texture is desired.
The overall tone is cultured and editorial, balancing classic bookish manners with a more fashion-forward, display-ready sheen. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast read as premium and composed, suited to sophisticated, curated settings rather than casual or rustic ones.
The design intent appears to modernize a classical serif model through sharper terminals and flared finishing, creating an elegant typeface that reads confidently in display sizes while maintaining enough discipline and rhythm for editorial composition.
Spacing appears measured and even, producing a smooth line color in the paragraph sample while preserving distinct letter silhouettes. The ampersand is ornate yet controlled, and the italic-like movement is minimal, keeping the voice formal and steady. Small details—like tapered cross strokes and pointed joins—reinforce a precise, high-finish impression.
