A refined serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, hairline detailing. The letterforms show a vertical, calligraphic stress with sturdy main stems contrasted by very thin connecting strokes and serifs. Serifs are sharp and largely bracketed, with tapered terminals that give the outlines a clean, incisive finish. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are well-balanced and slightly stately, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm and moderate x-height, producing a polished, readable texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and refined print layouts where a crisp, high-end serif is desired. It also fits luxury-oriented branding, packaging, and invitations when set with generous spacing and careful hierarchy, and can serve as a confident headline face paired with a simpler sans for support text.
The overall tone is formal and cultured, with a distinctly editorial elegance. High-contrast joins and fine serifs lend a sense of luxury and seriousness, suitable for contexts that want to feel established, literary, or fashion-forward without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast reading serif with a contemporary crispness—balancing traditional proportions with sharply rendered hairlines for a premium, print-oriented look.
In text, the strong contrast creates a bright, sparkling page color, especially noticeable in curved letters and in glyphs with thin cross-strokes. Numerals and capitals carry a display-ready poise, while the lowercase remains disciplined and conventional, supporting longer reading when set at comfortable sizes and leading.
