A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline serifs. The forms show vertical stress and a crisp, engraved-like finish, with smooth bracket transitions into stems and clean, tapered terminals. Proportions lean classic: capitals are stately and well-spaced, while the lowercase maintains steady rhythm with compact joins and clear counters. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, combining sturdy main strokes with delicate horizontals and finials for a cohesive texture in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, books, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve for display-size headlines and pull quotes that benefit from sharp contrast and elegant detailing, especially in high-quality print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting sophistication and restraint. Its sharp contrast and delicate details read as premium and cultivated, lending an air of tradition and authority without feeling ornamental.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary take on a traditional, high-contrast book serif: optimizing classical proportions and vertical stress for a dignified reading experience while keeping details crisp for modern reproduction.
In the sample paragraph, the type builds a bright, high-definition page color: thick verticals anchor lines while fine serifs and hairlines add sparkle. The punctuation and dots appear small and precise, reinforcing the crisp, editorial character.
