A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a steady vertical axis. Serifs are slender and neatly bracketed, with crisp wedge-like terminals that keep strokes feeling sharp rather than heavy. Capitals are proportioned with generous width and smooth curves, while lowercase forms maintain open counters and a clear rhythm, aided by slightly calligraphic joins and tapered stroke endings. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, giving figures a poised, text-friendly presence.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book interiors, and other long-form editorial settings where a crisp, classical serif is desired. It also performs convincingly for headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs, where its contrast and detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, leaning toward classic editorial sophistication. Its sharp hairlines and restrained detailing communicate formality and clarity, with a quiet luxury that suits premium and literary contexts rather than casual or playful ones.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-oriented reading experience with a touch of modern sharpness—prioritizing elegance, clear typographic rhythm, and high-contrast refinement for editorial and literary composition.
Curves and diagonals resolve into fine points without becoming brittle, and the spacing in the sample text reads even at display sizes. The design balances delicate hairlines with confident main stems, producing a lively page color that feels traditional yet clean.
