This serif has a crisp, high-contrast build with thin hairlines and sharper main strokes, giving it a polished, print-like texture. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with tapered joins and clean, pointed terminals that keep the letterforms lively rather than blocky. Proportions feel traditional with moderate ascenders/descenders and a steady baseline rhythm; rounds (C, O, Q) are smooth and slightly sculpted, while diagonals (V, W, Y) come to narrow, controlled apexes. The lowercase shows clear, readable forms with open counters and a restrained, editorial cadence; figures are similarly refined, with thin connecting strokes and graceful curves in 2, 3, 5, and 9.
Well suited to editorial systems such as magazines, essays, and book typography where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also support elegant headlines, pull quotes, and brand identities that want a classic, premium feel, especially when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, leaning toward classic book and magazine typography. Its delicate hairlines and polished finishing details convey sophistication and a quiet formality without feeling ornamental.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary take on conventional text serifs: maintaining familiar proportions and readable shapes while emphasizing high-contrast finesse and sharp, carefully finished terminals for an elevated editorial look.
At larger sizes the hairline details and tapered terminals become especially noticeable, giving headlines a sharp, upscale sparkle. In smaller settings, the contrast and fine serifs suggest it will look best when printing or rendering conditions preserve thin strokes cleanly.
