A sharp, high-contrast serif with sculpted, tapered strokes and subtly flared terminals that broaden as they meet the serifs. The letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp apexes, and bracketed joins that give curves a carved, controlled feel. Proportions are classical and fairly compact, with smooth round forms (O, Q) and a clean, open lowercase that remains readable while retaining a formal rhythm. Figures appear lining-style with strong contrast and delicate horizontals, matching the text’s refined texture.
This face is well-suited to magazines, book typography, and other editorial settings where a refined, classical serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in display applications—headlines, luxury branding, and formal collateral—where its contrast and sculpted terminals can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and literary, conveying a sense of tradition and authority without feeling heavy. Its crisp contrast and tailored terminals lend a boutique, editorial sophistication suited to premium contexts.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif proportions with a slightly flared, taper-forward stroke treatment, creating a contemporary take on formal print typography. It emphasizes elegance and clarity through controlled contrast, crisp detailing, and a disciplined rhythm in text.
In running text the spacing produces a calm, even color, while the sharp serifs and tapered details add sparkle at larger sizes. The caps feel stately and well-balanced against the lowercase, making mixed-case typography look composed and intentional.
