A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering serifs. The letterforms show a controlled, calligraphic construction: verticals are firm and straight while curved strokes narrow to fine terminals, producing a bright, shimmering texture in text. Proportions lean slightly narrow with tall capitals and a moderate x-height; counters are open and neatly shaped, and round letters maintain a calm, even rhythm. Numerals match the text tone with similarly high contrast and delicate finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary publishing where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for display use—headlines, pull quotes, and title pages—where its high contrast and crisp serifs can be appreciated. For formal materials like invitations and cultural branding, it delivers a poised, premium feel.
The overall impression is polished and cultured, with an editorial, bookish elegance. Its sharp detailing and measured proportions evoke a classic, high-end tone suited to formal communication rather than casual or rugged settings.
The font appears designed to provide a conventional, readable serif structure while emphasizing elegance through high contrast and finely finished serifs. Its balanced rhythm and restrained styling suggest an intent to serve both continuous reading and sophisticated display typography.
The design relies on fine details—hairline joins, sharp apexes, and thin cross-strokes—which read especially clean at larger sizes. In denser text, the contrast and delicate terminals create a sophisticated, slightly luminous page color.
