A refined serif with sharp hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation across stems and curves. The letterforms show a vertical, composed posture with crisp terminals, tapered joins, and a smooth, calligraphic stress that reads clearly in large sizes. Proportions feel classical and balanced, with moderate extenders and generous interior counters that help maintain clarity despite the delicate hairlines.
This font is well suited to editorial typography, magazine and journal design, book covers and titles, and sophisticated branding where a classic serif voice is desired. It performs especially well for headlines and larger text settings where its high-contrast detailing and fine serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a poised, literary feel. Its strong contrast and clean, sculpted details give it a sense of sophistication and drama that suits luxury and editorial environments.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional text serif, emphasizing elegance and precision through high contrast and finely cut serifs. It aims to project authority and refinement while retaining a familiar, readable structure for editorial use.
In text, the thin horizontals and serifs create a sparkling rhythm, while the heavier verticals anchor the line. The figures share the same contrast and sharp finishing, giving numerals a formal, display-oriented presence.
