A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline joins that produce a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with pointed terminals on several letters and a generally smooth, calligraphic stress. Proportions are slightly expanded with generous sidebearings, giving capitals a stately footprint and allowing lowercase to breathe in text. Curves are clean and controlled; counters are open, and the overall color stays light despite strong vertical emphasis. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with elegant curves and delicate finishing strokes.
Well suited for headlines and subheads in editorial design, book and chapter titles, and refined brand or event materials where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also work for pull quotes and short-form text when set with adequate size and leading to preserve the fine hairlines.
The tone is poised and cultured, reading as traditional and editorial rather than utilitarian. Its sharp hairlines and polished detailing convey formality and sophistication, suited to classic, bookish settings where elegance is prioritized over ruggedness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, literary serif feel with contemporary crispness, emphasizing elegance through high contrast, tapered serifs, and spacious proportions. It prioritizes a polished reading texture and an elevated tone for editorial and display typography.
At display sizes the thin strokes and tapered terminals read especially crisp, while in longer passages the wide spacing and airy texture keep lines from feeling dense. The font’s contrast and delicate joins suggest it will reward careful typesetting and comfortable sizes, particularly in print-like layouts.
