This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with fine hairlines and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and proportioned with generous inner counters, while the lowercase keeps a measured rhythm with slightly calligraphic tapering on joins and terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled (notably in C, G, O, and S), and the verticals read clean and formal. Numerals share the same contrast and polish, with slender strokes and carefully shaped bowls that keep the color light on the page.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where an elegant serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal stationery when set with comfortable leading to preserve the delicacy of the hairlines.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, evoking traditional book and magazine typography. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs lend a sense of luxury and formality, while the open forms keep it feeling composed rather than heavy.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-finish text serif that prioritizes elegance and readability through open counters, controlled proportions, and crisp detailing. Its contrast and careful serif treatment suggest a focus on polished publishing and sophisticated display settings.
In text, the font’s contrast creates a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes, with hairlines and serifs contributing to a refined texture. The italic is not shown; the displayed style relies on upright, classical proportions and neatly finished details.
