A high-contrast serif with tapered, subtly flared stroke endings and softly bracketed serifs that feel drawn rather than purely constructed. Vertical stems carry most of the weight while hairlines stay fine and crisp, creating a bright, stately texture in text. Capitals are proportioned with clear classical influence—wide rounds and steady verticals—while lowercase forms show generous counters, a double-storey “g,” and lively, slightly calligraphic joins. The numerals are similarly contrasty with elegant curves and delicate interior shaping, matching the overall rhythm of the letters.
This face is well suited to editorial typography—magazine features, book jackets, and refined long-form layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for branding, invitations, and cultural or luxury communications, especially in headlines and display sizes where the contrast and flared details can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and traditional, with a refined, bookish elegance that reads as cultured and formal without becoming overly ornate. Its contrast and flared finishing give it a sense of ceremony and sophistication suited to premium editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical serif proportions, combining high-contrast structure with gently flared terminals to add warmth and distinction. Its emphasis on clean, elegant rhythm suggests a focus on premium reading experiences and sophisticated display typography.
In the sample text, the letterspacing and strong vertical emphasis produce a confident, authoritative color at larger sizes, while fine hairlines and tapered terminals add sparkle. The design maintains consistent contrast and serif behavior across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, supporting cohesive typography in mixed settings.
