This typeface is a high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a strongly calligraphic stroke model. Curves swell into thick stems and taper quickly into hairline connections, producing elegant transitions and bright interior counters. The capitals are stately and slightly narrow with pointed apexes and clean, sculpted joins, while the lowercase shows moderate proportions with open bowls and distinctly tapered finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and use sharp, delicate terminals that keep the overall texture light and polished.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine settings where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs well for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as invitations or programs, especially at sizes that allow the hairline detailing to remain clear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and traditional, with a cultured, bookish feel. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs lend an editorial elegance that reads as premium and formal rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literature-forward serif with pronounced contrast and carefully shaped serifs for a polished reading texture. It aims to balance classical proportions with a crisp, contemporary finish for editorial and publishing use.
In text, the rhythm alternates between sturdy verticals and very thin links, creating a lively sparkle and clear hierarchy between thick and thin. At larger sizes the hairlines and tapered terminals become a defining detail, giving headlines a tailored, high-end character.
