A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered strokes and small, neatly bracketed serifs. The forms show a calligraphic undercurrent: diagonals and joins feel drawn rather than constructed, and curves transition into thin hairlines with a crisp snap. Proportions are moderately narrow with a comparatively short x-height, giving lowercase a compact, vertical rhythm while capitals read stately and open. Counters are clean and rounded, terminals are often wedge-like or teardrop-shaped, and spacing feels even and measured in text.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired, especially for display sizes and comfortable reading settings. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, cultural branding, and formal print pieces such as invitations or programs where crisp contrast and classic proportions are an advantage.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an elegant, slightly old-world refinement. Its contrast and crisp detailing convey formality and polish, while the gentle calligraphic shaping keeps it from feeling sterile.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional, calligraphy-informed reading face with a polished, high-contrast sparkle. The compact x-height and carefully shaped serifs suggest an emphasis on classic typographic voice, with enough sharpness to hold its own in prominent titles and pull quotes.
In the sample text, the thin hairlines and sharp serifs contribute a sparkling texture at larger sizes, and the compact lowercase helps maintain a disciplined line. Numerals appear traditional and proportional in feel, matching the text color and contrast of the letters.
