A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and confident, slightly flared stroke endings that give the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. Capitals are stately and moderately wide, with crisp terminals and fine joins; curves are smooth and taut, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) read cleanly without heaviness. The lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with open counters, a modest x-height, and bracketed serifs that soften the transitions into stems. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and ascenders/descenders that blend naturally into running text.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively in refined branding, packaging, and formal invitations, especially when set at sizes large enough to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting cultivated print tradition rather than overt display theatrics. Its contrast and tapered details add sophistication and a sense of ceremony, while the rounded forms keep it approachable and readable.
Designed to evoke a contemporary take on classical serif typography: crisp, high-contrast construction paired with subtly flared terminals for a distinctive, engraved elegance that remains comfortable in text settings.
In text, the font maintains an even, measured color despite the pronounced contrast, with lively sparkle from the hairlines and terminals. The italics are not shown; the roman carries most of the expressiveness through flaring, bracketed serifs, and slightly calligraphic modulation.
