A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast, crisp terminals, and delicately bracketed serifs. The proportions lean wide, with generous letterfit and steady rhythm in text, while verticals remain dominant and cleanly upright. Curves are smooth and controlled, with tapered joins and pointed diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) that add a sharp, polished edge. The lowercase shows traditional book faces cues—double-storey a, open counters, and a distinctive g with a pronounced ear—supporting comfortable word shapes at display and text sizes.
Well-suited to editorial systems where high-contrast serifs are expected—magazines, essays, and book typography—especially when paired with generous spacing. It also performs convincingly for refined headlines, pull quotes, and luxury-oriented branding where a classic, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, balancing formality with a slightly dramatic, high-contrast sparkle. It feels literary and cultured rather than playful, projecting authority and composure suitable for premium typography contexts.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional text serif with heightened contrast and a wider set, aiming for an elegant page texture and a polished, contemporary editorial finish while retaining conventional, readable letterforms.
Numerals appear lining with similarly high contrast and sculpted curves, giving figures a dignified, old-world flavor in running text. In the sample paragraph, the strong thick–thin modulation and wide set create a calm, luxurious color on the page, with punctuation and capitals carrying a crisp, slightly sharp presence.
