A high-contrast serif with very thin hairlines and fuller main strokes, producing a crisp, finely etched texture. Serifs are small and bracketed, with tapered terminals and a slightly calligraphic modulation that keeps curves smooth and controlled. Proportions feel balanced and traditionally bookish, with moderate x-height, open apertures, and a clean baseline rhythm. Numerals and capitals are graceful and airy, echoing the same sharp hairlines and careful curves seen in the text sample.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, essays, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for display applications—chapter titles, pull quotes, and refined headlines—where its sharp contrast and delicate serifs can add sophistication. For formal collateral like invitations or cultural branding, it conveys a polished, traditional feel.
The font projects an elegant, cultivated tone—formal without feeling stiff. Its refined contrast and delicate detailing suggest a literary, editorial character with a subtle sense of luxury and tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif reading experience with elevated refinement, using strong stroke contrast and precise bracketed serifs to achieve a classic, editorial voice that scales from text to tasteful display.
In the sample text, the hairlines and joins stay very fine, giving long lines a light, shimmering color. The lowercase shows clear differentiation between similar forms (e.g., i/j/l) and maintains readable counters, while the overall spacing feels measured and composed.
