A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline terminals. Serifs are fine and generally bracketed, with a vertical, bookish rhythm and carefully tapered joins that keep counters open despite the slender strokes. Capitals feel tall and measured, while the lowercase shows compact proportions with rounded bowls and a gently calligraphic flow; details like the ear and terminals read sharp rather than soft. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, with elegant curves and thin connecting strokes that favor a refined page color at text and display sizes.
Well suited to magazine typography, book interiors, and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal print materials such as invitations or programs, especially where generous spacing and good printing conditions can preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, evoking traditional publishing and high-end editorial typography. Its sharp contrast and clean finishing give it a polished, premium feel that reads as serious and composed rather than casual or playful.
This appears designed to deliver a classic, publishable serif voice with a premium, high-contrast finish. The intent reads as balancing traditional text-serifs with display-level elegance, offering a composed typographic color for long-form content and upscale titling.
The design maintains a consistent contrast model across letters and figures, producing a bright, airy texture on the page. Fine joins and hairline serifs create an elegant sparkle, while the forms remain conventional enough to support continuous reading in well-set text.
