A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines, sharper wedge-like terminals, and subtly flared stroke endings that give verticals a gently swelling presence. Serifs are crisp and pointed rather than blocky, with small brackets and tapered connections that keep the texture lively. Capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with a two-storey a and g, open apertures, and compact, well-controlled joins. Numerals follow the same contrast model, pairing sturdy main strokes with delicate finials for a polished, bookish color on the page.
Well-suited to editorial typography, magazine layouts, book covers, and brand applications that want a refined serif voice. It can carry headlines and subheads with authority and works in short-to-medium passages where its contrast and crisp terminals add sophistication without overwhelming the texture.
The overall tone is elegant and cultivated, with a formal, slightly dramatic sparkle from the contrast and fine terminals. It reads as literary and editorial, suggesting tradition, taste, and a premium feel rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a slightly sharpened, modern finish—using flared stroke endings and high contrast to create a refined, premium texture that performs especially well in editorial and display contexts.
In text, the design produces a clean, shimmering line with clear vertical emphasis and noticeable hairline finesse; it will reward comfortable sizing and printing/display conditions that preserve the thin strokes. The italic is not shown, and the presentation focuses on a single upright style.
