A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and softly flared stems that broaden into bracketed serifs. Hairlines are thin and crisp, while main strokes remain lean, giving the design a light, polished color on the page. The letterforms keep classical proportions with carefully tensioned curves; rounds are smooth and slightly vertical, and diagonals feel precise and controlled. Serifs are not slabby—more tapered and sculpted—often finishing in pointed or wedge-like terminals that add sharpness without looking aggressive.
It performs especially well in editorial settings—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section titles—where contrast and crisp detailing add sophistication. It also suits book typography and formal print materials such as programs, invitations, and branding systems that benefit from a classic, high-end serif voice.
The overall tone reads cultured and editorial, with a quietly luxurious finish. Its combination of delicate hairlines and sculpted serifs evokes tradition and formality, while the clean, contemporary spacing keeps it from feeling overly antique.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with added visual sparkle from high contrast and flared, bracketed finishing. It balances tradition with a clean, modern polish, aiming for elegance and authority in both text and display sizes.
In text, the rhythm is steady and bright, with strong vertical emphasis and clear differentiation between thick and thin strokes. The numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, giving figures a dressy, bookish presence suitable for running text as well as display.
