A high-contrast serif with smooth modulation and subtly flared stroke endings that widen into the terminals rather than stopping abruptly. The capitals feel stately and generously proportioned, with sharp apexes and fine hairlines balanced against sturdy verticals. Serifs read as tapered and wedge-like, giving edges a chiseled, slightly calligraphic finish. Lowercase forms are open and readable, with a two-storey a and g, compact joins, and round counters that maintain an even rhythm in text. Numerals are lining and similarly modulated, with refined curves and delicate thin strokes.
Well suited to editorial layouts, long-form reading, and magazine typography where a refined serif texture is desired. It can also serve branding and packaging that benefits from a premium, literary voice, and it performs especially well in display sizes for headlines and pull quotes where the contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, projecting a bookish, traditional seriousness with a contemporary crispness. Its contrast and flared terminals add a quiet drama that feels suited to cultural, academic, and luxury-leaning contexts without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a sharper, more contemporary finish, using flared terminals and controlled contrast to create elegance without excessive ornament. It aims for a versatile editorial workhorse character that still feels distinctive in large sizes.
In text, the face holds a steady baseline and consistent color for a contrast serif, while fine details (hairlines, thin cross-strokes, and tapered serifs) contribute to a sharp, sophisticated texture. The design leans on clean curves and controlled stroke transitions rather than pronounced bracketed serifs, which keeps the impression neat and modern-classical.
