A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and stronger vertical stems, producing a bright, elegant texture on the page. Serifs are sharp and finely cut with little visible bracketing, and terminals often end in small teardrops/balls (notably in several lowercase forms). Proportions feel fairly classical with moderate ascenders and descenders; counters are open and the rhythm is steady, while letter widths vary enough to keep word shapes lively. Numerals and capitals carry the same sharp, engraved-like detailing, with clean curves and precise joins.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a refined, classic voice is desired. It can also support upscale branding, cultural institutions, and formal invitations, particularly in display sizes where the hairline detailing and sculpted terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and polished, suggesting a traditional, bookish sophistication. Its contrast and fine details give it a luxurious, slightly dramatic presence that reads as formal and cultivated rather than casual.
The design appears intended to capture a classic, modernized serif sensibility—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and precise finishing to deliver a premium editorial feel with strong typographic presence.
In the text sample, the thin horizontals and hairlines become prominent, emphasizing a bright vertical cadence; this makes the face feel especially crisp at larger sizes while remaining orderly in paragraph-like settings. The italic is not shown, and the design presented maintains a consistent upright, composed posture throughout.
