A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and firmer main strokes, featuring crisp, bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic modulation. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a slightly narrow feel in many capitals and lively internal spacing that keeps the texture open. Terminals tend toward sharp, tapered finishes, and several forms show subtle flare and delicacy (notably in the curves and joins). Numerals and capitals read clean and formal, with a consistent vertical stress and carefully tuned proportions.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, and it scales nicely into magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section titles. Its refined contrast and crisp details also make it a good candidate for premium branding, invitations, and packaging where a cultivated tone is important.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining classic bookish authority with a refined, fashion-leaning elegance. Its sharp finishing and pronounced contrast give it a poised, premium presence without feeling ornamental or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly readable serif with elevated contrast and fine detailing for sophisticated editorial and publishing contexts. It prioritizes clarity and tradition while adding a slightly fashion-forward sharpness through tapered terminals and precise serif treatment.
The italic-like influence is visible in the tapering terminals and stroke modulation even in the upright forms, lending a graceful rhythm in text. Display sizing shows strong character in distinctive capitals and punctuation, while the lowercase maintains an even, composed cadence.
