A sharply drawn serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate, hairline serifs. The letterforms show a calm vertical stance with clear calligraphic stress, combining crisp wedge-like terminals in capitals with more fluid, rounded endings in the lowercase. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are generous, and spacing reads even, giving paragraphs a steady rhythm while preserving a distinctly elegant, high-finish texture.
Best suited to editorial design, magazine layouts, book covers, and headline work where its contrast and fine details can shine. It can also support premium branding and formal collateral such as invitations or packaging, especially when set with comfortable leading and not pushed too small.
The overall tone feels refined and editorial, with a classical sophistication suited to luxury and literature. Its contrast and slender details suggest formality and polish rather than utilitarian neutrality, lending text a poised, cultured voice.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classical text serif: elegant in tone, disciplined in structure, and optimized for high-end typography where refined contrast and crisp finishing are central to the aesthetic.
Capitals lean toward stately proportions with sharp joins and clean diagonals, while lowercase introduces subtle personality through teardrop/ball terminals and a softly modeled bowl structure. Numerals echo the same contrast-driven construction, appearing graceful and display-leaning at larger sizes.
