A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairlines. The serifs are small and cleanly bracketed, with tapered, knife-like terminals that keep strokes crisp without looking brittle. Capitals are elegant and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase shows a traditional book-face rhythm with smoothly modeled bowls, a compact, two-storey “a,” and a well-balanced, open “e.” Numerals are similarly classic, with clear contrast and smooth curves that align with the text color of the letters.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in display sizes for refined headlines, pull quotes, and elegant brand applications that benefit from sharp contrast and crisp finishing.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, evoking established publishing and formal communication. Its sharp details and controlled contrast lend a sense of sophistication and authority, while the gentle bracketing keeps it readable and composed.
Designed to deliver a conventional, bookish serif impression with elevated contrast and careful finishing details. The intention appears to balance traditional readability with a more fashion-forward sharpness for modern editorial use.
The font maintains an even, editorial texture in paragraph settings, with carefully managed joins and counters that prevent the high-contrast strokes from breaking the line. Diagonal forms (like V/W/X/Y) are clean and angular, and the italic-like energy is minimal, reinforcing a calm, upright voice.
