A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with a slightly calligraphic finish in terminals and subtle flicks on forms like the lowercase a and y. Proportions run wide with generous letterfit and open counters, giving the text a spacious, airy rhythm; curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall structure stays crisp and upright. Numerals and capitals maintain the same polished contrast and clean joining, creating an even, formal texture in continuous reading.
Works well for editorial design, long-form reading, and literary publishing where a bright, elegant serif texture is desired. The wide stance and crisp contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications such as invitations or premium packaging when set with ample breathing room.
The tone is cultured and composed, leaning toward classic book and magazine typography rather than utilitarian UI. Its bright, high-definition sparkle and wide set convey sophistication and restraint, suitable for premium or literary contexts.
Likely designed as a contemporary interpretation of a classical text serif: prioritizing elegance, clear internal shapes, and a spacious reading rhythm while retaining traditional contrast and serif detailing.
In the sample text the contrast and hairlines remain clear at display-to-text sizes, while the wide proportions and generous spacing keep lines feeling open. The italic is not shown; the roman relies on subtle terminal shaping and bracketed serifs for personality rather than overt ornament.
