A delicate serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a vertical, steady stance with clean hairlines and rounded bowls that stay open and readable. Capitals feel spacious and formal, with tapered terminals and carefully balanced curves; the lowercase maintains an even rhythm with modest extenders and a clear, single-storey a. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with flowing curves and light finishing strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book design, and cultured brand communications where a refined serif texture is desired. It also fits headlines, pull quotes, and packaging that benefits from an elegant, classical voice, especially at medium to large sizes where the fine hairlines can shine.
The overall tone is polished and literary, conveying a sense of tradition and restraint rather than overt personality. Its fine detailing and calm spacing suggest an editorial voice—measured, cultivated, and quietly upscale.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast reading experience with an elevated, traditional finish—balancing graceful curves with crisp serifs for an authoritative yet understated presence.
Curves are drawn with a smooth, almost calligraphic sweep, while joins and serifs stay precise, giving a crisp on-page texture. The spacing in the sample text reads airy and composed, with enough differentiation between thick and thin strokes to create a bright, elegant color at larger text sizes.
