A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The design pairs narrow, vertical stress with sharply tapered terminals and a clean, polished contour throughout. Capitals are tall and stately with generous internal space (notably in C, G, and O), while the lowercase shows a measured rhythm and a moderate x-height. Details like the two-storey a, open apertures, a looped g, and a compact, elegant r contribute to a controlled, literary texture; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with delicate curves and sturdy verticals.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine layouts, essays, and book titling where contrast and refinement are desirable. It also fits premium branding applications—fashion, beauty, hospitality—and formal collateral like invitations and certificates, especially when set at display or larger text sizes.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, suggesting traditional print sophistication with a contemporary, high-end finish. Its sharp contrast and slender hairlines lend a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the calm proportions keep it disciplined rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic reading voice with elevated contrast and a stylish, modern edge. It balances formal, traditional serif cues with sleek hairlines and precise finishing for upscale, print-forward use.
The italics are not shown; the sample text demonstrates a strong headline presence where hairlines remain visible and counters stay open. At smaller sizes, the fine joins and hairlines may require careful color and spacing to preserve clarity in dense settings.
