This serif typeface shows sharply tapered, hairline serifs paired with pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are slender and clean, while curves swell into fuller bowls, creating a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. The capitals are stately and open, with generous counters (notably in C, O, and Q) and finely drawn terminals; the Q has a delicate, calligraphic tail. Lowercase forms maintain a traditional book-face structure with a two-storey a and g, narrow joins, and a relatively light, airy texture in text. Numerals appear lining and similarly refined, with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly for display uses—headlines, pull quotes, and cultural branding—where its fine hairlines and sculpted curves can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting a sense of tradition and sophistication. Its contrast and fine detailing evoke a formal, editorial voice rather than a utilitarian one, lending text a poised, cultured character.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, high-contrast book serif: restrained, readable proportions combined with refined detailing for an upscale editorial feel. It aims to balance traditional forms with a crisp, modern finish in the serifs and terminals.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and tight details at terminals and serifs, which read especially crisp at larger sizes. The spacing in the sample text feels even and composed, supporting smooth paragraph color while keeping a distinctly elegant sparkle from the contrast.
