This serif typeface features pronounced stroke contrast with hairline horizontals and thin, sharply tapered serifs against fuller vertical stems. The forms are upright and roomy, with generous letter widths and a steady baseline rhythm that reads crisply at display sizes. Serifs are mostly bracketed with pointed, wedge-like terminals, and several lowercase letters show small ball or teardrop terminals that add a slightly calligraphic finish. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a crisp join behavior and clear differentiation between thick stress strokes and delicate connecting strokes.
It suits editorial typography—magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and cover lines—where high contrast can shine. It also works well for brand identities and packaging that aim for a premium, classic impression, and for book covers or title pages where refined serif character is desirable.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, pairing a sense of tradition with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its refined hairlines and poised proportions convey sophistication and formality, making the texture feel upscale and composed rather than rustic or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literature-friendly serif voice with elevated contrast and stylish detailing for display-forward settings. Its combination of broad proportions, crisp hairlines, and tasteful terminals suggests an aim to feel both authoritative and luxurious in contemporary layouts.
The sample text shows strong word-shape clarity and a bright page color due to the thin cross-strokes and open counters. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine terminals that harmonize with the capitals. The lowercase includes traditional details like a two-storey “g” and a more delicate “r,” reinforcing a bookish, classical sensibility.
