This serif shows pronounced contrast between thick verticals and hairline horizontals, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that stays controlled and consistent. Serifs are finely bracketed and often flare subtly as strokes terminate, creating a sharpened, tapered finish rather than blunt slabs. Uppercase proportions feel dignified and relatively wide-set, while the lowercase maintains clear rhythm and open counters; the ‘a’ and ‘g’ are double-storey and the overall texture reads smooth and even in paragraph settings. Numerals and capitals share the same high-contrast logic, with delicate joins and thin hairlines that add sparkle at larger sizes.
Well-suited for magazine features, book titles, and cultured branding where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also serve body text in comfortable sizes where the high contrast and delicate hairlines remain clear, producing an elegant, literary page color.
The tone is polished and traditional, evoking book typography and classic editorial design. Its sharp hairlines and subtly flared endings lend a poised, dressy character that feels formal without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with subtly flared terminals to add sophistication and a contemporary edge. It aims for an editorially versatile texture—authoritative in caps, fluent in lowercase—while keeping a premium, high-contrast finish.
The design’s thin horizontals and fine terminals create a light, shimmering surface in text, especially in combinations with many crossbars and diagonals. Capitals like Q and R show crisp, carefully shaped details that reinforce a tailored, high-end impression.
