A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. Stems stay relatively slender while hairlines become very fine, creating a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often subtly flared, with wedge-like shaping on capitals and neatly finished joins in the lowercase. Proportions feel balanced and slightly narrow in the rounds, with a compact, two-storey “g” and a small, clean “a,” and numerals that keep a consistent vertical stress and graceful curves.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, and refined long-form layouts where an elegant serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and brand applications that benefit from a classic, premium tone.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, evoking classic book typography and upscale print design. Its delicate hairlines and sculpted serifs suggest formality and care, lending a quiet sophistication rather than a loud display personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classical, print-forward serif with stylish contrast and subtly flared finishing, prioritizing elegance and typographic tradition. Its consistent proportions and crisp detailing suggest a focus on readable, polished composition for cultured editorial and branding contexts.
At text sizes the design reads clean and orderly, while at larger sizes the contrast and tapered details become the main visual feature. The uppercase has a stately presence with smooth curves (notably in C/O/Q) and a slightly calligraphic finishing on diagonals and arms, contributing to a polished, traditional feel.
