A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast, narrow hairlines, and smooth bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a balanced, slightly wide set with steady vertical stress and carefully controlled curves, giving the face a polished, contemporary-classic rhythm. Counters are open and well-shaped, terminals are crisp, and joins remain clean even in lighter strokes, producing a calm, even texture in text.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a refined serif texture is desired, especially in print-like layouts. It also performs confidently in magazine typography, culture and lifestyle branding, and display applications such as headlines, pull quotes, and title treatments where its contrast and crisp serifs can add sophistication.
The overall tone is elegant and literate, with a quietly formal character suited to serious, cultivated messaging. It reads as classic and editorial rather than ornamental, projecting authority and restraint through its sharp contrast and composed proportions.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-finish text serif that balances classic proportions with a sharper, more modern contrast profile. It aims to deliver a composed reading rhythm and an upscale editorial voice across both continuous text and prominent titling.
Capitals feel stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a clear hierarchy with compact details and tidy serifs that help guide the baseline. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, appearing crisp and text-friendly with consistent weight distribution.
