This serif shows a pronounced thick–thin rhythm with crisp hairline serifs and clean, tapered terminals. The overall construction is upright and relatively formal, with smooth, rounded bowls contrasted by narrow joins and fine connecting strokes. Capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture, including a two-storey a and g and a compact, classic italicless posture. Numerals appear lining and similarly high-contrast, with graceful curves and fine finishing strokes that match the text forms.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. It can also serve luxury-oriented branding and packaging, and works effectively for headlines and pull quotes where its contrast and sharp finishing strokes can read clearly.
The tone is polished and poised, leaning toward a classic book-and-magazine sensibility. Its sharp details and high contrast give it a sophisticated, fashion-forward air, while the restrained shapes keep it calm and traditional rather than flamboyant.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast serif voice with a polished, contemporary finish. It prioritizes elegance and typographic color for reading and editorial hierarchy, pairing crisp details with familiar, conventional letterforms.
In the sample text, the delicate hairlines and tight internal details become more prominent, making the face feel most confident at comfortable text-to-display sizes where stroke contrast can breathe. Curved letters like C, O, and S read smoothly, while forms with thin horizontals and joins emphasize the refined, engraved-like character.
