This serif features sharp, finely tapered serifs and pronounced stroke modulation, with thin hairlines contrasted against fuller stems. Curves show a predominantly vertical stress, and terminals are clean and slightly flared rather than blunt, giving the letters a crisp, polished finish. Proportions lean toward a compact, text-oriented build with moderate ascenders and descenders, while bowls and counters remain open enough to keep the rhythm clear in continuous reading. Numerals match the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and delicate joins that echo the letterforms.
It is well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, especially in comfortable print sizes. The clean contrast and refined details also make it effective for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and premium branding where a polished, traditional tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial and literary feel. Its bright, high-contrast sparkle and fine finishing details suggest formality and taste, projecting sophistication without becoming ornamental.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary take on a classical text serif: prioritizing readability through balanced proportions and open counters while adding a sense of luxury through crisp serifs and pronounced contrast for a lively page texture.
In the text sample, the font maintains a steady baseline and consistent spacing that supports paragraph setting, while the very thin hairlines become a defining visual feature at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; all samples read as a composed, straight-standing roman.
