A high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline serifs and strongly tapered joins that create a bright, elegant rhythm on the page. Stems are robust against very thin connecting strokes, producing pronounced thick–thin modulation and mostly vertical stress in round forms. Serifs are fine and neatly bracketed, with pointed, calligraphic terminals on letters like C, S, a, c, and f. Proportions are traditional and text-oriented: capitals are stately with generous internal space, while lowercase forms show a moderate x-height and clear, open counters. Numerals follow the same refined model, with delicate curves and sharp finishing details.
This typeface suits editorial layouts, book typography, and refined brand systems where a classic serif voice is desired. It performs especially well for headlines, subheads, and display text that benefits from high contrast and elegant detailing, and can also support carefully set body text in comfortable sizes and leading.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking classic book typography and high-end editorial design. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted curves read as formal and premium, with a slightly dramatic elegance that feels at home in cultured, traditional contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, bookish serif with elevated contrast and precise finishing, balancing classical proportions with a more fashion-forward sharpness. Its consistent modulation and controlled terminals suggest an emphasis on sophistication and typographic authority in long-form and editorial settings.
The italics are not shown; the displayed style emphasizes clean, upright construction with pronounced contrast, so spacing and line color appear airy and crisp at larger sizes. The design’s thin features and pointed terminals give it a distinctly sophisticated sparkle that can become visually prominent in headings and pull quotes.
