This serif presents sharp, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation, with hairline cross-strokes and crisp terminals. Curves are smooth and open, while joins stay clean and controlled, giving the forms a polished, engraved feel. Proportions are moderately narrow with clear vertical emphasis; capitals are stately and evenly spaced, and lowercase shows a traditional, readable structure with a two-storey “g” and compact, well-contained bowls. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant tapers and fine detailing that rewards larger sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as editorial typography for magazines where a refined serif texture is desired. It also fits luxury-oriented branding, cultural institutions, and formal collateral such as invitations or programs, particularly when set at comfortable sizes with adequate line spacing.
The overall tone is cultured and composed, balancing elegance with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward contrast. It reads as literary and authoritative rather than playful, lending a sense of tradition, taste, and careful curation.
The font appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic text serif: high-contrast, carefully finished, and optimized for a dignified page color. Its details suggest an aim to communicate prestige and clarity in editorial and literary contexts.
The design relies on fine hairlines and pointed finishing, which can appear especially delicate in small sizes or low-resolution settings. Spacing appears steady and conservative, supporting continuous reading while keeping a refined, premium surface.
