A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and stronger vertical stems, set on relatively narrow proportions. Serifs are crisp and often gently bracketed, with tapered terminals and small calligraphic inflections that show up as subtle hooks on several capitals. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are moderately compact, and the overall rhythm feels even despite noticeable per-glyph width differences typical of a text serif. Numerals follow the same contrast model and include delicate top/bottom finishing details that read clearly at display sizes.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine or book typography, and other contexts where a classic high-contrast serif can signal sophistication. It also fits invitations, programs, and premium branding work where subtle ornamental cues add character without dominating the layout.
The tone is polished and traditional, with a slightly ornamental, bookish refinement. Its sharp hairlines and discreet flourish points give it a poised, editorial feel—formal without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, refined serif voice with a touch of decorative calligraphic influence—prioritizing elegance and contrast for titles and prominent text, while retaining enough regularity to function in well-spaced running copy.
In the sample text, the font maintains a clean baseline and consistent contrast, but the thin horizontals and hairline serifs suggest it will look best when given adequate size, spacing, and print-like rendering conditions. Capitals carry the most personality through their gently flourished entry/exit strokes, while lowercase remains comparatively straightforward and readable.
