This typeface is a refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and relatively fine, giving the letterforms a polished, engraved feel without becoming brittle. Capitals show generous proportions and smooth curves (notably in C, G, and O), while the lowercase keeps a calm rhythm with open counters and a slightly calligraphic stress. Details like the sweeping Q tail and the angled, wedge-like finishing strokes contribute to a lively, high-end texture in text.
It performs well in editorial settings such as magazine layouts and book typography, where its contrast and bracketed serifs add distinction. The design also suits display use—headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding—particularly when a classic, upscale voice is desired.
The overall tone is cultured and editorial, balancing restraint with a touch of drama from its sharp contrast and elegant finishing. It reads as traditional and literary, with a premium, fashion-adjacent sophistication suited to refined communication rather than utilitarian UI.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary take on a classic text serif: maintain familiar proportions and readability while adding a more fashion/editorial sharpness through contrast and tapered terminals. It aims for a premium, cultivated texture that feels at home in long-form reading as well as high-impact titles.
In the text sample, the contrast creates a bright vertical cadence and clear word shapes, especially in mixed-case settings. Numerals appear elegant and text-friendly, matching the surrounding letterforms with consistent contrast and delicate endings.
