A refined text serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, tapering hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, giving terminals a sharp, calligraphic finish while maintaining a disciplined, upright structure. The proportions are slim and vertically oriented, with open counters and a steady rhythm that stays readable in continuous text. Curves in letters like C, S, and O show a clear vertical stress, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with elegant thin connections and sturdy main stems.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine settings where a polished, high-end text voice is desired. It also performs nicely in display sizes for invitations, headlines, and brand wordmarks that benefit from sharp contrast and refined detailing.
The overall tone feels poised and literary, with a fashion-adjacent elegance that suggests careful typesetting and a traditional print sensibility. Its contrast and sharp detailing create a sense of sophistication and formality without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical reading experience with an upscale, contemporary finish—combining traditional serif construction with crisp hairlines and an elegant, narrow stance for a distinctive page color.
Uppercase forms appear stately and slightly condensed, while the lowercase maintains a consistent texture with delicate joins and clean, controlled terminals. Descenders (notably on g, j, p, q, y) add a graceful, slightly calligraphic sweep that can lend emphasis in headings and pull quotes.
