A high-contrast serif with a crisp, finely drawn hairline-to-stem relationship and subtly flared stroke endings. Capitals are stately and open, with clean bracketed transitions into serifs and a calm, upright axis. Lowercase shows a traditional book-face rhythm: compact bowls, tapered arms, and carefully shaped joins that keep counters clear while maintaining a polished texture. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with delicate curves and decisive verticals that read cleanly in display sizes.
Performs best in editorial settings where contrast and detailing can be appreciated—magazine headlines, book covers, and section openers. It also suits formal collateral such as invitations or cultural branding, and can work for short to medium text in comfortable sizes where the fine hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, suggesting classical print traditions and editorial restraint. Its sharp detailing and controlled contrast lend it a refined, slightly dramatic voice suited to sophisticated, text-forward design.
Designed to deliver a classical serif voice with elevated contrast and subtly flared finishing, balancing traditional proportions with a sharper, more contemporary crispness. The intent appears to be a versatile literary display/text companion that feels authoritative, elegant, and print-native.
The sample text shows an even, well-paced line color with lively sparkle from the hairlines, while the broader strokes anchor readability. Pointed apexes and tapered diagonals (notably in V/W/Y and k/x) add a crisp, cut-like character without becoming overly ornate.
