This is a refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline serifs. Curves are smoothly modeled and slightly calligraphic, with tapered joins and crisp terminals that keep counters open and clean. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented: a moderate x-height, gently rounded bowls, and a steady rhythm across mixed-case settings. Numerals are similarly high-contrast, with a classic ‘1’ and flowing ‘2’/‘3’ forms that match the letter texture.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired, especially at text and display sizes with adequate printing/screen resolution. It can also support refined branding, headlines, and pull quotes when a formal, high-end voice is needed.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, with a quiet formality that reads as bookish and editorial. Its sharp contrast and fine detailing lend an upscale, fashion-adjacent sophistication without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances traditional proportions with crisp, contemporary refinement. Its controlled modulation and restrained details aim for readability and elegance rather than novelty.
In the sample text, the face maintains a smooth horizontal flow and an even grayscale at larger text sizes, while the hairlines and thin serifs become a defining feature. The italic is not shown; all displayed forms are upright with subtle, traditional finishing details.
