A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered joins and subtly flared stroke endings that create a calligraphic, chiseled rhythm. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with pointed terminals on many letters and a pronounced modulation from thick verticals to hairline curves. Uppercase forms feel stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows lively curves and distinct, crisp details (notably in the a, e, g, and y) that keep text color bright without becoming brittle. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and tapering, reading cleanly at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography where contrast and crisp detailing can shine—magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and book-cover titling. It can also work for formal branding and printed pieces like invitations or programs when set with comfortable spacing and not pushed too small.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, leaning toward a bookish, editorial elegance. It conveys tradition and authority, with a slightly dramatic sharpness that adds sophistication and formality without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif voice: high-contrast and polished for display, with enough traditional structure to remain credible for refined text settings.
Curves are drawn with smooth, confident bowls and narrow hairline connections, giving counters a clean, open feel. The design favors clarity and polish over softness, with terminals that often resolve to fine points and subtle flares that add character in headlines and pull quotes.
