A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline serifs. The letterforms show smooth, sculpted curves and tapered joins, with bracketed serifs that stay sharp and relatively small compared to the stems. Capitals are spacious and stately with wide bowls and clear, open counters; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are razor-thin at the joins and flare into heavier strokes. Lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with a two-storey a and g, compact terminals, and a slightly calligraphic stress that keeps rounds lively without becoming mannered.
Well suited to editorial systems—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined body copy where contrast can add character. It also fits premium branding, packaging, invitations, and other applications that benefit from a formal, classical serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, evoking classic book and magazine typography. Its contrast and fine details create a sense of sophistication and ceremony, lending text a poised, editorial voice rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif feel while heightening elegance through strong contrast and carefully tapered detailing. It prioritizes a graceful reading rhythm and an upscale, print-oriented presence in both setting and display use.
Numerals follow the same contrast-driven drawing, with elegant curves and fine entry strokes; several figures (notably 2, 3, 5, and 9) show distinctive, slightly calligraphic terminals. In the sample text, the light hairlines and tight apexes become more prominent at larger sizes, emphasizing a crisp, display-friendly character.
