A refined serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp hairline details. Serifs are bracketed and sharply finished, with a smooth, pen-informed flow in curves and joins. The capitals feel measured and classical, while the lowercase combines compact bowls with relatively tall ascenders and clear, open counters for readability. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, giving text a bright vertical rhythm and a clean, polished page color.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form reading, and magazine layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand collateral like invitations or cultural event materials, where its contrast and sharp finishing can be showcased.
The overall tone is polished and literary, leaning toward traditional book typography and upscale editorial presentation. Its sharp contrast and controlled detailing convey sophistication and authority, with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward edge at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-oriented reading experience with a heightened sense of elegance. Its high-contrast construction and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on traditional typographic refinement and editorial versatility.
In continuous text the strong contrast creates a distinct vertical cadence, so careful sizing and leading help preserve smooth texture in longer passages. The shapes remain conventional and steady rather than experimental, making it feel familiar while still visually luxurious.
