This serif shows pronounced stroke contrast with delicate hairlines and stronger verticals, creating a crisp, polished texture. Serifs are finely bracketed and subtly flared, with tapered terminals that feel lightly calligraphic rather than mechanical. Capitals are stately and open, with generous interior space and a measured rhythm; rounded letters keep a smooth, drawn curve, while joins and diagonals stay clean and controlled. Lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and clear differentiation, with a double-storey “g” and a single-storey “a,” and an overall spacing that reads comfortably without looking dense.
It performs especially well in editorial typography—magazine layouts, book interiors, and article headlines—where its contrast and open forms can shine at comfortable reading sizes. It also suits refined branding, invitations, and packaging where a classic serif voice is desired, and works best when given adequate size and leading to preserve the hairlines.
The tone is refined and literary, balancing classic bookish authority with a contemporary lightness. Its high-contrast elegance gives it a poised, upscale character suited to culture, fashion, and editorial contexts rather than utilitarian UI text.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with a more sculpted, tapered finish, combining traditional proportions with subtly flared details for added elegance and distinction.
Figures and punctuation match the same delicate contrast and tapering, giving numerals a dignified, slightly display-leaning feel. The shapes stay consistent across uppercase and lowercase, with restrained detailing that keeps the face feeling calm and composed in paragraphs.
