This typeface is a high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and stronger verticals that subtly broaden into flared, bracketed terminals. Serifs are sharp yet not rigid, and many strokes end in gently tapered wedges that give the letterforms a faintly calligraphic finish. Proportions feel balanced and traditional, with open counters and smooth, controlled curves; the overall rhythm is even and readable, with a polished, bookish texture in text.
It suits long-form reading in books and magazines where a refined, traditional serif texture is desired, and it scales well for headlines and display lines that benefit from crisp contrast. The elegant stroke endings also make it a strong choice for cultural branding, stationery, and invitation-style applications where a classic, premium tone is important.
The tone is poised and cultured, evoking classical printing and contemporary editorial refinement. Its crisp contrast and tapered endings create a sense of sophistication without feeling ornate, lending an authoritative, literary voice.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with subtly flared, calligraphic terminals to achieve a refined, contemporary editorial voice. It prioritizes clarity and rhythm in text while retaining enough distinctive detailing to stand out in display settings.
The roman capitals show a measured, inscriptional steadiness, while the lowercase adds softness through rounded joins and slightly lively terminals. Figures appear lining and proportional, matching the text color and maintaining the same crisp contrast and tapered finishing.
