A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are mostly bracketed with sharp, wedge-like finishing on many capitals, while joins stay smooth and controlled for a composed texture. The uppercase set feels tall and formal with ample interior space; diagonals (V, W, X) are sharply cut and the Q carries a distinct sweeping tail. Lowercase forms are moderately compact and rhythmic, with a two-storey a, an open e with a delicate crossbar, and a g that reads as double-storey with a pronounced ear; punctuation-like dots appear round and clean. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine hairlines that give them a poised, bookish presence.
Works well for book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine pages where a polished serif texture is desirable. It can also serve in display roles—titles, pull quotes, and refined branding—where its high-contrast detailing and sharp terminals communicate sophistication.
The overall tone is cultured and traditional, projecting authority without heaviness. Its sparkle and fine detailing suggest a premium, editorial voice—suited to literature, institutions, and classic branding rather than utilitarian signage.
The design appears intended as a conventional, well-mannered text serif that adds elegance through contrast and tapered finishing rather than overt ornament. It aims to deliver a classic reading experience with a slightly dressy, editorial edge.
The font shows a careful balance between sharpness and softness: many strokes end in pointed, calligraphic tapers, yet the serifs remain disciplined and consistent across the set. In text, spacing and color appear even, with enough contrast to feel crisp while maintaining a readable, composed paragraph texture.
