A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, subtly flared terminals that give strokes a sculpted, calligraphic finish. Serifs are delicate and bracketed, with sharp, clean joins and a generally vertical stress in rounded forms. Proportions skew toward the classical: capitals feel stately and slightly condensed, while the lowercase maintains a balanced rhythm with compact apertures and a steady baseline. Numerals and punctuation match the same crisp contrast and tapered endings, producing a polished, print-oriented texture in longer lines.
Well-suited to magazines, books, and other editorial contexts where an elegant serif texture is desired. It can carry high-end branding and packaging, and it performs strongly in display sizes for titles, pull quotes, and refined headlines while remaining composed in longer passages.
The overall tone is formal and composed, projecting an editorial, literary sensibility. Its sharp contrast and fine finishing details communicate sophistication and tradition, with a hint of modern crispness rather than rustic warmth.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif voice through high-contrast modeling and flared, tapered terminals, aiming for a premium, print-forward feel that remains clear and controlled in continuous text.
In text, the face creates a smooth, even color with noticeable sparkle from the hairline strokes and pointed terminals. The design’s flare at stroke ends adds presence without the blockiness of slabs, and the capital set reads especially ceremonial in headlines and titles.
