This typeface presents a sharp, high-contrast serif construction with thin hairlines and stronger verticals, creating a crisp, engraved rhythm. Serifs are compact and often wedge-like, with subtle flaring at terminals that gives strokes a gently tapered, calligraphic finish rather than blunt endings. Uppercase forms are stately and open, with pronounced vertical stress in rounded letters and clean, pointed joins in diagonals. Lowercase proportions feel balanced and readable, with a two-storey a, a compact e with a fine crossbar, and a distinctive g featuring a generous lower bowl; overall spacing appears even and controlled for text settings.
It is well-suited to editorial typography—magazines, essays, and book typography—where its contrast and crisp serifs can add sophistication at display and comfortable clarity at larger text sizes. It can also support premium branding and packaging, particularly when paired with generous spacing and restrained layout systems.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining a classical bookish feel with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward sharpness. The strong contrast and fine detailing convey sophistication and authority, while the tapered terminals add a hint of warmth and craft.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical serif voice: refined contrast, controlled proportions, and tapered terminals that elevate both display lines and extended reading. Its forms emphasize elegance and clarity, aiming for a premium, editorial presence without excessive ornament.
Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with clear differentiation between forms; the 2 and 3 show elegant curves, while the 4 and 7 are more angular and crisp. The italic is not shown; all samples appear consistent in a roman style.
