A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. Serifs are small and delicate, generally bracketed, and the overall construction leans on vertical strokes with oval, vertically stressed rounds. Uppercase forms are stately and spacious with generous sidebearings, while lowercase shows tidy proportions and clear differentiation between stems, bowls, and joins. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender diagonals and tapered endings that keep the texture light and polished in text.
Well-suited to magazine layouts, literary publishing, and other editorial settings where a polished, high-end serif texture is desired. It can carry headlines and pull quotes with grace, and it also fits formal printed materials such as invitations and programs, especially at medium to larger sizes.
The face conveys a calm, cultivated tone—formal without feeling rigid. Its sharp contrast and restrained detailing suggest a fashion/editorial sensibility, paired with a bookish, classical seriousness suited to curated typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical high-contrast text serif: elegant, carefully proportioned, and optimized for a refined reading experience and premium typographic voice.
In the sample text, the rhythm reads airy and composed, with strong word-shape clarity and a slightly luminous page color due to fine hairlines. Round letters maintain clean, open interiors, and the type’s delicate details reward generous sizes and comfortable leading.
