A high-contrast serif with crisp, wedge-like terminals and very thin hairlines against stronger main strokes. The letterforms feel moderately narrow with a tall, composed stance and smooth, continuous curves in round letters. Serifs are sharp and neatly finished, producing a clean baseline rhythm; joins and diagonals stay precise, with pointed vertices in forms like V/W and a lively, calligraphic pull in the numerals. Lowercase shows a traditional structure with compact apertures and a measured, even texture in running text.
This face is well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif texture is desired, and it also performs strongly for magazine layouts and refined headlines. It can add a premium, formal tone to invitations, programs, and other print-forward communications where sharp detail is an asset.
The overall tone is refined and literary, projecting a classic, cultured voice suited to polished publishing contexts. Its sharp detailing and dramatic stroke modulation add sophistication and a slightly fashion-forward edge without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text serif through pronounced contrast and crisp, sculpted finishing, balancing readability with a distinctly upscale editorial character.
In larger sizes the fine hairlines and pointed terminals read as especially crisp, while in dense paragraphs the texture remains orderly but can appear bright due to the thin connecting strokes. The figures echo the same contrast and curvature, giving numerals a distinctly elegant, expressive presence.
