A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate, hairline serifs. The letterforms show a controlled, slightly calligraphic logic with smooth curves, tapered terminals, and carefully bracketed serifs that keep joins from feeling abrupt. Proportions are compact and somewhat tall, with relatively narrow bowls and counters that create a tight, orderly rhythm. Numerals and capitals match the same high-contrast, polished construction, yielding a crisp page color when set in continuous text.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where high-contrast serifs can provide an upscale voice. It also works for refined headlines, pull quotes, and brand systems that want a classic, cultured feel, especially in larger sizes where the hairline details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is cultivated and editorial—quietly luxurious rather than loud. Its sharp contrast and fine details suggest sophistication and tradition, while the clean, disciplined spacing keeps it feeling contemporary and composed.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances classic bookish structure with a fashion/editorial sheen. Its narrow proportions and fine serifs aim to deliver elegance and efficiency on the page while maintaining a disciplined, readable rhythm.
Curves such as in C, G, and S are drawn with a smooth, restrained tension, and the diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay slender and precise. The lowercase shows classic text-serif traits (notably in a, e, g, and y) that support readability, while the thin serifs and hairline strokes add a distinctly premium, print-like finish.
