A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strongly vertical axis. Serifs are delicate and sharp, with minimal bracketing and crisp joins that keep the forms clean at display sizes. Capitals feel stately and well-proportioned, with generous counters and a measured, bookish rhythm; the Q has a distinctive, sweeping tail. Lowercase balances readability with sophistication, showing compact, tapered strokes and slightly calligraphic detailing in letters like a, e, f, and g. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy main stems with fine hairlines and open, elegant bowls.
Well-suited to editorial design, book covers, and headline typography where high contrast and fine details can shine. It also fits luxury-leaning branding and formal materials such as invitations or programs, especially when paired with ample whitespace and careful typesetting.
The overall tone is polished and literary, leaning toward luxury and classical authority rather than friendliness. It suggests tradition, careful craft, and a fashion/editorial sensibility, making text feel composed and high-end.
Designed to deliver a classic, high-end serif voice with strong contrast and precise finishing, aiming for sophistication in display and editorial contexts. The letterforms prioritize elegance and typographic color over ruggedness, projecting authority and refinement.
In continuous text the sharp hairlines and tight terminals create a crisp texture that rewards good printing or high-resolution rendering. Italicized words in the sample show a noticeably more calligraphic slant and emphasis compared to the upright, enhancing hierarchy and emphasis in editorial layouts.
