A high-contrast serif with crisp, finely tapered hairlines set against sturdy vertical stems. Serifs are delicate and mostly bracketed, with pointed, knife-like entry and exit strokes that keep the outlines sharp and precise. Proportions feel traditionally bookish with moderate cap height and a balanced, readable lowercase; counters are relatively open, while curves are smooth and controlled. Numerals and capitals show strong thick–thin modulation and an elegant, slightly calligraphic rhythm without visible slant.
Well suited to magazine typography, book covers and chapter openers, and brand identities that benefit from a refined serif voice. It also fits invitations, certificates, and other formal print materials, and can work for short passages of text when size and reproduction quality preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a fashion/editorial kind of elegance. Its sharp detailing and pronounced contrast convey sophistication and a formal, premium feel, while the classical construction keeps it familiar and credible in text settings.
Designed to deliver a classic, high-end text serif impression with pronounced contrast and precise detailing. The intent appears to balance traditional readability with a more dramatic, editorial edge for impactful typography.
At display sizes the hairlines and fine serifs read as crisp and luxurious; in smaller sizes those same details may require careful rendering and sufficient size/contrast to avoid thinning out. The sample text shows an even color and steady baseline rhythm, with expressive shapes in letters like Q, g, and y adding a subtle editorial flair.
