A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline terminals. Serifs are slender and mostly bracketed, with crisp joins and a clear vertical axis across rounded forms. Proportions feel traditional and measured: capitals are stately with generous inner counters, while lowercase shows compact, bookish shapes and a moderate rhythm. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing delicate curves with firm vertical stems for a consistent typographic color.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, long-form articles, and book interiors where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly in display settings—titles, pull quotes, and formal materials—where the high-contrast detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting a sense of tradition and taste. Its sharp contrast and precise finishing cues a premium, editorial voice—formal without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, timeless text serif with a distinctly high-contrast, fashion-adjacent finish. It prioritizes elegance and a classical reading rhythm, balancing traditional proportions with sharp, contemporary crispness in the details.
At larger sizes, the fine serifs and hairlines read as crisp and sophisticated, while at smaller sizes they may appear more delicate due to the thin connecting strokes. The design maintains an even cadence in text, with clear differentiation between letterforms and an emphasis on elegant verticality.
