A high-contrast serif with slim hairlines, fuller verticals, and subtly flared stroke endings that create a gently expanding finish rather than blunt terminals. Serifs are fine and crisp with modest bracketing, and curves are smooth and controlled, producing a calm, even rhythm in text. Uppercase proportions feel classical and slightly narrow, with sharp apexes (A, V, W) and clean, open counters; the lowercase shows compact, tidy forms with a two-storey a, a two-storey g with a defined ear, and a restrained, slightly calligraphic modulation. Numerals follow the same contrast and finesse, reading cleanly at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial design such as magazines, headlines, and pull quotes, as well as high-end branding and packaging where contrast and finesse are assets. It can also work for book jackets and title pages, especially when set with comfortable size and spacing to protect the thin strokes.
The tone is polished and editorial, balancing traditional bookish credibility with a contemporary fashion sensibility. Its thin detailing and poised contrast suggest sophistication, precision, and a premium feel rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif voice: high contrast, disciplined structure, and flared finishing strokes that add distinction without becoming decorative. It aims for an upscale, print-forward presence that performs best in display and refined text settings.
In longer lines of sample text, the delicate hairlines and tapered terminals emphasize elegance and spacing, while the consistent vertical stress helps maintain clarity. The overall impression is sharp and airy, favoring clean reproduction and generous white space.
