This serif face combines slender hairlines with strong vertical stems and smoothly bracketed serifs that often flare subtly as they meet the terminals. Curves are clean and round with generous, open counters, while joins and transitions show a restrained, calligraphic taper. Capitals feel stately and well-proportioned with sharp, tidy serifs; the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm, with a two-storey a and g and relatively compact, vertical stress. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with refined curves and clear differentiation across figures.
It suits editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form articles where refined contrast and classic proportions add authority. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and brand applications that want a premium, literary tone with crisp serif detail.
The overall tone is cultured and composed, projecting a traditional book-and-magazine sophistication. Its high-contrast stroke modulation and crisp finishing details give it a polished, premium feel without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, pairing traditional proportions with subtly flared, bracketed terminals for a sharper, more current finish. The consistent rhythm across upper- and lowercase suggests a focus on readability in text settings while retaining enough elegance for display work.
The italicized or swash effects are not evident in the samples; the style relies instead on controlled tapering, bracketed transitions, and consistent contrast to create character. Spacing in the text sample reads balanced and airy, supporting long-form reading while still providing a sharp, display-ready edge at larger sizes.
