A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and crisp bracketed serifs that read as slightly wedge-like in many glyphs. Strokes shift dramatically from hairline thins to firm verticals, producing a lively, elegant rhythm, especially in rounded forms like C, G, O, and Q where thin connecting curves are prominent. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with moderate x-height, open counters, and carefully modeled joins; lowercase forms such as a, e, and g show a classic, text-oriented construction keeping shapes clear despite the delicate thins. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with narrow waists and precise terminals that align visually with the capitals.
Well-suited to book typography, magazine layouts, and editorial systems where a classic serif voice is desired. It performs particularly well for headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, and can also lend a premium, formal tone to invitations and refined branding when set with adequate size and spacing.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial, old-world sophistication. Its pronounced contrast and sharp finishing details create a sense of luxury and authority that suits serious, curated content rather than casual or utilitarian messaging.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional print serif models with a modern, sharpened finish—prioritizing elegance, contrast, and a polished page color for literary and editorial use.
In the text sample, the hairline strokes and fine serifs create a sparkling texture at larger sizes, while the strong verticals maintain structure. The design’s elegance is most apparent in display and heading contexts where thin strokes have room to breathe.
