A delicate serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely bracketed serifs. The forms feel open and spacious, with generous counters and measured letterspacing that keeps text airy. Curves are smooth and controlled, while terminals and serifs taper to sharp, clean points, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved-like finish. Uppercase proportions read stately and slightly expansive, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast, old-style influenced rhythm with varied widths and lively curves.
Well suited for editorial layouts, book work, and long-form reading where a classic serif texture is desired, especially in comfortable print sizes. It also performs nicely for refined branding, cultural institutions, and invitation or event materials that benefit from a formal, high-end tone.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional book typography with a contemporary cleanliness. Its high-contrast strokes and sharp finishing details suggest sophistication and a premium, editorial voice rather than a utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast reading serif with a refined, fashion-adjacent finish—balancing classical proportions and bracketed serifs with a clean, contemporary sharpness for modern editorial use.
In paragraph settings the type maintains an even baseline rhythm and clear word shapes, while the fine hairlines and tapered joins create a distinctly dressy texture at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; the displayed style reads as a roman with restrained, conventional detailing rather than overt novelty.
