A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a vertical, calligraphic stress with tapered joins and hairline finishing strokes that stay clean at display sizes. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, with generous interior space in rounds like C, G, and O, while the lowercase keeps a steady rhythm and moderate proportions. Numerals are lining and similarly high-contrast, with delicate curves and thin cross-strokes that reinforce the overall light-footed texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a classic serif tone is desired. It also performs strongly for headings, pull quotes, and refined brand systems, and can lend an upscale feel to invitations and formal communications when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, leaning toward editorial and bookish sophistication. Its sharp, polished finishing gives a sense of formality and tradition, while the open shapes keep it from feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly polished reading serif with elevated contrast and crisp finishing, balancing classical proportions with a bright, contemporary sharpness for both text and display settings.
Detailing is especially evident in letters with diagonals and joins (V/W/K/N), where thin connections and pointed terminals add sparkle. The lowercase includes a double-storey g and a compact, crisp e, contributing to a traditional reading voice with a slightly dressy surface.
