This serif typeface shows crisp, bracketed serifs and a pronounced thick–thin modulation, with slender hairlines and sturdy vertical stems. Curves exhibit a largely vertical stress and clean, controlled joins, while terminals often end in sharp wedges or tapered points rather than blunt cuts. Proportions are fairly traditional with moderate ascenders and descenders, and the lowercase maintains an even rhythm with open counters and clear interior space. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine detailing that reads as deliberate and polished.
It suits editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine settings where a traditional serif voice and refined contrast are desirable. It also works well for display use—chapter openers, pull quotes, and formal collateral—where the sharp serifs and elegant modulation can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, pairing classical bookish manners with a slightly dressy sharpness in the finishing strokes. It feels composed and formal without becoming ornate, lending an air of authority and cultivated taste.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and carefully finished terminals, aiming to deliver a timeless reading texture while offering a more polished, high-end look for headings and prominent text.
In the sample text, the thin hairlines and pointed details become more noticeable at larger sizes, while the consistent stroke logic keeps long passages visually steady. The design balances crispness with restraint, relying on contrast and serif shape rather than decoration for character.
