A refined text serif with crisp, hairline bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show a calm, upright posture and a slightly condensed, vertical rhythm, with generous counters and carefully tapered strokes. Curves exhibit vertical stress, and joins often flare subtly, lending a sculpted, calligraphic clarity. Uppercase forms feel stately and disciplined, while the lowercase maintains a traditional book-face structure with compact, controlled curves and sharp finishing terminals; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and read cleanly at display sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes where contrast and sharp detail can shine. It also fits book jackets and cultural branding applications that benefit from a classic, high-end voice, especially in larger text sizes and spacious layouts.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, with a boutique editorial feel. Its sharp refinement and poised contrast suggest luxury, restraint, and classic authority rather than warmth or casualness.
Designed to deliver a contemporary take on a conventional text serif by emphasizing sharp hairlines, controlled proportions, and a dignified cadence. The intention appears to balance traditional readability with a distinctly premium, display-forward sophistication.
At larger sizes the hairlines and fine serifs become a defining feature, producing a delicate sparkle across lines of text. The rhythm is steady and formal, with crisp punctuation and a composed presence in mixed-case settings.
