A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered hairlines. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with a slightly calligraphic, sculpted feel at joins and terminals. The capitals read wide and open with generous counters, while lowercase forms maintain a steady, bookish rhythm; curves are smooth and vertical stems are assertive. Overall spacing feels balanced for text, with clear punctuation-like detailing in the terminals and a clean, print-oriented finish.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and literary or cultural publishing where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also serve upscale branding, packaging, and invitations, and works effectively for display headlines where its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The font conveys an editorial, polished tone—confident and traditional, but with a contemporary sharpness from its strong contrast and delicate serifs. It suggests sophistication and authority rather than warmth, leaning toward a cultured, magazine-and-literature voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif updated with heightened contrast and precise detailing, aiming for a refined reading texture and an upscale editorial presence. Its forms prioritize clarity and elegance, balancing classical proportions with crisp, modern finishing.
Round letters (C, O, Q) show controlled oval stress and clean inner counters, while diagonals (V, W, X) come to sharp, elegant points. Numerals match the text style with similarly refined contrast, keeping a consistent, dignified color across mixed typography.
