A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty verticals, paired with gently bracketed, tapering serifs. The curves are round and polished, while many terminals finish in small ball forms or teardrop-like ends, adding a decorative cadence. Proportions are on the elegant side with generous counters, and the overall rhythm balances classical book-serifs with subtly unconventional details.
Best suited for magazine and book display typography, including headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and title pages. It also fits branding that wants a premium, cultured impression—such as fashion, beauty, hospitality, and arts organizations—especially in larger sizes where the hairline detail and terminal shapes can be appreciated.
This typeface projects a refined, editorial tone with a faintly theatrical edge. It feels formal and literary, with enough idiosyncratic detailing to read as distinctive rather than purely traditional.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience while standing out through expressive terminals and slightly stylized construction. It aims for sophistication suitable for prominent typography, with ornamentation kept controlled so the text remains coherent in short passages.
The numeral set mixes strong vertical strokes with delicate joins, matching the text contrast, and the overall spacing reads open and composed in the sample paragraph. The distinctive terminal treatment is a key identifier, giving otherwise classical forms a more decorative, boutique character.
