A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline terminals. Serifs are small and bracketed, with crisp joins and a generally vertical stress that gives the outlines a clean, contemporary finish despite traditional proportions. Uppercase forms feel stately and measured, while lowercase shows slightly calligraphic shaping—most noticeably in the two-storey “g” and the angled, tapered strokes in letters like “a,” “e,” and “s.” Numerals are light and refined, with open counters and thin connecting strokes that emphasize an airy, polished texture in text.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and refined long-form reading where a polished serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for titles, pull quotes, invitations, and brand systems that benefit from a light, high-contrast elegance.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, suggesting a bookish, editorial sophistication. Its fine detailing and high contrast convey formality and restraint, with a subtle classicism that reads as premium and considered rather than decorative.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional text serif with elevated refinement: traditional letter construction paired with crisp, high-contrast detailing for a modern editorial feel. Its forms prioritize clarity and a bright, graceful texture on the page.
In the text sample, the rhythm is even and the spacing feels calm, producing a bright page color. The thinnest hairlines and sharp serifs contribute to a precise, upscale look, especially in larger sizes where the stroke modulation becomes a key visual feature.
