A high-contrast serif with delicate hairlines and firm, tapered main strokes. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with sharp terminals and a clean, upright stance. Curves are smooth and open, counters are generous, and the overall rhythm feels spacious and controlled. Uppercase forms read stately and measured, while the lowercase shows subtle calligraphic modulation and crisp joins that keep text looking refined at larger sizes.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where an elegant serif voice is desired. It also fits formal invitations and premium branding applications, especially when set at display or comfortable text sizes on high-quality print or screens.
The tone is formal and cultured, with a quiet sense of luxury typical of bookish and editorial typography. Its thin details and crisp finishing convey sophistication rather than warmth, lending a polished, high-end character to headings and display text.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, conventional serif reading experience with heightened contrast and refined finishing, prioritizing elegance and typographic sophistication for literature- and fashion-adjacent contexts.
The numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with slender horizontals and pronounced verticals that keep them consistent with the letters. In the sample text, the font maintains a smooth line of reading with prominent capitals and a distinctly elegant texture, though the finest strokes suggest it will look best when reproduction quality is high.
