This serif presents a refined, high-fashion text-and-display color built around strong thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline serifs. Strokes show vertical stress and crisp, sharply finished terminals, with smoothly bracketed joins that keep curves feeling polished rather than mechanical. Proportions are moderately narrow with generous counters; caps read stately and open, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm and a traditional two-storey a and g. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and slender diagonals that give figures a slightly dressy presence.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book or journal applications where a refined serif tone is desired. It also performs convincingly in display roles—headlines, pull quotes, and premium branding—where its contrast and crisp serifs can be showcased at larger sizes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and cultivated, evoking classic book typography and contemporary editorial styling. Its crisp contrast and fine detailing communicate luxury and seriousness, with a poised, slightly dramatic voice suited to premium content.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, conventional serif voice with elevated contrast and finely cut detailing, balancing traditional text-serif proportions with a more luxurious, editorial finish for both reading and display contexts.
In the text sample the hairlines and serifs become a defining feature, creating a bright, shimmering texture that rewards comfortable sizes and good printing or rendering conditions. Curved letters like C, G, O, and Q show controlled, smooth rounds, while letters with diagonals (V, W, X, Y, and z) add a sharper accent to the otherwise formal cadence.
