A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs are slim and generally bracketed, with crisp joins and a smooth, controlled modulation that reads as calligraphically informed rather than mechanical. Capitals are balanced and stately, with generous interior space; the round letters show clean, near-vertical stress, and the curves finish in fine points. Lowercase forms are compact and tidy, with a two-storey “a,” a lively descending “g,” and narrow, neatly drawn verticals that maintain an even rhythm in text.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where contrast and classic serif detail can be appreciated at comfortable reading sizes. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a traditional, cultured voice.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, with an unmistakably editorial flavor. Its high-contrast sparkle and precise finishing cues suggest formality and care, making it feel suited to sophisticated, text-forward design rather than utilitarian UI typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly polished reading serif with a fashionable edge—combining classical proportions and bracketed serifs with crisp contrast for a clean, contemporary editorial texture.
In setting, the type shows a bright, rhythmic texture where hairlines stay distinct and counters remain open. Numerals follow the same refined, contrasty construction, aligning visually with the text while keeping a classical, print-oriented presence.
