A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline detailing. Strokes show clear vertical stress, with strong, steady main stems and very fine cross-strokes and serifs that read sharp and minimally bracketed. Proportions feel balanced and traditionally bookish, with moderate x-height, tall ascenders, and open counters that keep the texture light and airy. Numerals appear lining and similarly contrasty, matching the letterforms with delicate curves and precise joins.
It performs well in editorial contexts such as magazine typography, book work, and cultural publishing where an elegant serif tone is desired. The contrast and fine details also lend themselves to display use—headlines, pull quotes, and event materials—especially at medium to large sizes where hairlines can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and classic, evoking literary and editorial traditions. Its contrast and finely cut details give it a cultured, formal voice suited to premium typography, while the open shapes keep it from feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical high-contrast serif: clean, sharp, and disciplined, prioritizing elegance and typographic sophistication. Its restrained serifs and controlled proportions suggest a focus on refined reading texture and upscale presentation.
In continuous text the font produces a bright page color and a slightly sparkling rhythm due to hairline serifs and thin connecting strokes. The italics are not shown; the roman carries most of the personality through crisp terminals, taut curves, and confident verticals.
