This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin contrast with gently tapered, flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs. Letterforms are broadly proportioned with generous internal space, producing open counters and a calm rhythm in text. Curves are smoothly modeled and the joins feel slightly calligraphic, especially in round letters and the lowercase. Uppercase forms read stately and balanced, while the lowercase maintains a traditional, bookish texture with clear differentiation between stems, bowls, and terminals.
Well suited to editorial typography where a refined serif texture is desired—magazine features, book interiors at comfortable sizes, and display settings where contrast can shine. The wide proportions and open counters also support elegant headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that want a classic, premium feel.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a sense of classic print refinement. Its high-contrast modeling and graceful flare give it an elegant, editorial voice rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional serif craft with a more sculpted, flared finishing, combining strong contrast for elegance with generous proportions for clarity in setting.
The numerals appear lining and similarly high-contrast, matching the uppercase’s formality. Bowls and rounds (like C, O, e, o) are drawn with smooth modulation, and diagonals (V, W, X, y) show crisp tapering that keeps the design sharp without feeling rigid.
