This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline serifs and crisp, tapering terminals. The letterforms are upright and well-proportioned, with a measured rhythm and generous internal counters that keep paragraphs airy. Serifs are generally fine and slightly bracketed, while curves show a calligraphic stress that reads clearly in rounded forms like O, C, and e. The lowercase uses traditional constructions (including a two-storey g) and the figures appear lining with similarly high contrast, giving the set a cohesive, formal texture.
Well-suited to magazine typography, literary publishing, and other editorial layouts where a refined serif voice is desirable. It can serve as a sophisticated headline face and also as a high-end text option when set with comfortable size and leading. It also fits premium branding applications that benefit from a classic, cultivated typographic tone.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, with a distinctly editorial and literary flavor. Its delicacy and high contrast evoke a premium, fashion-forward sensibility while remaining grounded in conventional book typographic cues. The result feels poised and quiet rather than loud or ornamental.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic, publication-ready serif with elevated contrast and a clean, modern finish. It prioritizes elegance and typographic tradition—through restrained proportions, fine serifs, and calligraphic stress—while maintaining enough regularity for extended reading settings.
At display sizes the hairlines and sharp joins contribute to a crisp, engraved-like finish, and the uppercase forms feel stately without becoming overly wide. The sample text shows a smooth, consistent color for a high-contrast serif, with emphasis coming from stroke contrast and fine serifs rather than heavy weight.
