This serif face combines high-contrast strokes with a crisp, slightly calligraphic construction. Serifs are bracketed and neatly tapered, with pointed terminals appearing on letters like W, V, and y, giving the design a sharp, chiseled finish. Curves are smooth and tensioned, counters are moderately open, and the overall rhythm is refined rather than mechanical. Uppercase forms feel stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows traditional oldstyle influences, including a two-storey a and a distinctive g with a prominent ear and rounded bowl.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where a refined serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for display roles—headlines, titles, and upscale branding—where the high contrast and pointed terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The tone is polished and bookish, with a classic, cultured presence suited to formal publishing aesthetics. Its contrast and pointed details add a touch of sophistication and drama, reading as elegant rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with elevated contrast and stylish, slightly dramatic terminals, balancing classical proportions with decorative sharpness for contemporary editorial impact.
Numerals appear oldstyle-leaning in feel, with varied proportions and pronounced stroke modulation that matches the text color of the letters. In larger sizes the sharp terminals and thin hairlines become a defining character feature, while at smaller sizes the strong contrast may require comfortable leading and careful color management.
