A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapering hairlines and sharply defined bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and open, with a controlled, slightly calligraphic modulation that gives bowls and counters a polished finish. Capitals read stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with clear differentiation between stems, joins, and terminals; the italic is not shown, and the overall stance remains upright. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, with a particularly delicate feel in thinner strokes and clean, editorial-looking figures.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively in headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand identities that benefit from sharp contrast and a polished, traditional finish.
The font conveys a refined, literary tone—poised and authoritative without feeling overly ornate. Its sharp serifs and bright, high-contrast texture suggest classic publishing and fashion sensibilities, lending a sense of prestige and careful craft.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on conventional text serif structure, emphasizing elegance through strong contrast and precise serif detailing. It aims for versatile, publication-ready typography that can move between comfortable reading and elevated display settings.
Stroke contrast creates a lively sparkle at text sizes, especially in dense lines, while the strong verticals keep the page color organized. The design favors crisp details and narrow hairlines, so it reads most confidently where reproduction is clean and spacing can breathe.
