A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sharply tapered terminals that frequently flare into delicate wedge-like endings. The letterforms are drawn with smooth, calligraphic modulation: thin hairlines, sturdier verticals, and subtly swelling joins that give the outlines a lively rhythm without feeling ornate. Serifs are generally fine and bracketed, with crisp entry/exit strokes on diagonals and a controlled, slightly condensed sense of spacing in text. Curves are clean and generous, while diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) feel pointed and precise, reinforcing a polished, bookish texture.
Well suited to long-form editorial typography where a crisp, refined texture is desired, as well as magazine layouts and sophisticated headlines. The clean tapering and elegant proportions also make it a strong choice for invitations, cultural branding, and other applications that benefit from a formal, literary voice.
The overall tone is classic and cultured, projecting quiet confidence rather than display theatrics. Its crisp contrast and tapered details suggest tradition and craftsmanship, lending an elevated, editorial voice that feels at home in literary and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with contemporary crispness, using flared, tapered stroke endings to add distinction while keeping the overall structure disciplined and highly legible.
The uppercase reads stately and composed, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable cadence with compact, neat details (notably the single-storey a and the open, lightly tapered forms). Numerals follow the same sharp contrast and tapering, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes that match the text color closely.
