A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals that often broaden subtly into flared endings. The forms are compact and vertically oriented, with a steady rhythm and clear baseline alignment. Serifs appear finely bracketed and sharp, giving strokes a sculpted, chiseled feel without becoming slab-like. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall texture on a line of text stays light and airy while retaining strong contrast.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial typography where contrast and delicate detailing can shine. It can also support book covers and premium branding that benefits from a classical serif voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the hairlines and tapered terminals remain clear.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—poised, formal, and slightly dramatic. Its sharp detailing and high contrast read as sophisticated and literary, suggesting tradition and careful craft rather than casual utility.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: narrow, elegant letterforms with flared, tapered finishing that adds character while preserving a disciplined reading rhythm.
Uppercase shapes feel stately with narrow proportions and clean joins, while lowercase maintains readability with compact counters and neatly finished terminals. Numerals follow the same elegant, high-contrast logic, with thin hairlines and crisp entry/exit strokes that suit display sizes particularly well.
