A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and sturdy vertical stems, giving the letterforms a sharp, polished silhouette. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with tapered terminals that suggest a calligraphic influence rather than a purely mechanical construction. The capitals feel expansive and stately, with generous spacing and pronounced thick–thin modulation, while the lowercase maintains a traditional book-face rhythm with compact counters and delicate joining strokes. Numerals and punctuation match the same refined contrast, with smooth curves and thin, precise entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to magazine and editorial typography, book jackets, and sophisticated branding where a classic serif voice is desired. It also fits invitations and formal collateral, and performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and display settings where its contrast and fine details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, projecting a sense of tradition and authority with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp contrast and poised proportions read as premium and composed, suited to settings where sophistication is more important than rugged neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of a classic text serif: traditional proportions and reading rhythm paired with heightened contrast and finely drawn details for a more luxurious, high-end impression.
Curved letters show carefully controlled stress and smooth transitions into hairlines, which heightens sparkle in larger sizes. The design’s delicacy in thin strokes gives it a light, airy color on the page, while the strong main stems keep it from feeling brittle.
