A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, giving terminals a sharp, cultivated finish without feeling rigid. Curves are smooth and generous, while joins and stroke transitions feel controlled and slightly calligraphic. Proportions lean classical: capitals are balanced and stately, lowercase shows a moderate x-height with clear ascenders/descenders, and counters stay open enough for continuous reading. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and slender horizontals.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, books, essays, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely in headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand materials—particularly in contexts that benefit from a poised, high-contrast look such as invitations and cultural communications.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional publishing and understated luxury. Its sharp serifs and delicate hairlines add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, while the steady rhythm keeps it composed rather than flamboyant.
The type appears designed to deliver a traditional text-serif reading experience with an elevated, high-finish surface—balancing classical proportions with sharp detailing for strong typographic presence.
The design’s delicacy is most apparent in thin strokes and small details, which read especially clean at display and editorial sizes. Stroke endings and serifs create a slightly pointed, incisive texture that adds sparkle to headings and pull quotes.
