This typeface is a high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, fuller main strokes, and finely tapered, bracketed serifs that often flare outward at terminals. Capitals feel stately and carefully proportioned, with pointed apexes (A, W) and cleanly cut joins; curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth and controlled, with a distinctive, slightly calligraphic stress. Lowercase shows a moderate x-height and lively rhythm: the a is double-storey with a strong teardrop-like terminal, the g is double-storey with a compact upper bowl, and the e has a sharp, angled eye. Numerals are similarly contrasty, with sculpted forms and thin entry/exit strokes that read best at display sizes.
Well suited to editorial design, magazine and book typography, and headline-driven layouts where contrast and refinement are assets. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, upscale serif presence, especially when set at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking luxury publishing and classical typography. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishing details add drama and sophistication, producing a confident, cultivated voice rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, combining sharp, print-like detailing with flared terminal finishing for added elegance and personality. It aims to balance tradition with display-level sophistication for text-forward, premium contexts.
Stroke contrast and delicate serifs create a bright, shimmering texture in paragraphs, while large sizes emphasize the sculptural qualities of bowls and terminals. Some letters feature pronounced tapering and slightly varied widths, giving the line a subtle, hand-informed movement without losing formality.
