A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and fuller main strokes, showing a gently calligraphic modulation throughout. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with subtle flare and taper where strokes meet terminals, giving a sculpted, slightly wedge-like finish rather than blunt endings. Proportions are elegant and moderately narrow, with open counters and a smooth, even rhythm across text. The lowercase balances a readable x-height with long, graceful extenders; italics are not shown, and the roman maintains a calm vertical stance. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and display a classic, bookish presence.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book covers, and cultured branding where a refined serif voice is desired. It performs particularly well in headlines, pull quotes, and large-format text where the high-contrast detailing and sculpted terminals can be appreciated without becoming fragile.
The overall tone is refined and cultured, leaning toward classic publishing and contemporary editorial sophistication. Its sharp hairlines and polished joins communicate elegance and restraint, while the faintly flared terminals add a distinctive, crafted character suitable for premium contexts.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with a subtly contemporary finish, using fine bracketed serifs and tapered terminals to create elegance without heaviness. Its proportions and rhythm suggest a focus on polished reading and display settings in premium editorial or brand environments.
In the samples, the font holds together well at large sizes where the contrast and delicate details become a key part of the voice. The design favors crisp rendering and careful spacing, with letterforms that read traditional yet slightly stylized due to the tapered terminals and subtle stroke flaring.
