A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, sharp hairline terminals, and compact bracketed serifs. The overall construction feels classical and carefully proportioned: capitals are stately with crisp apexes and tapered joins, while lowercase shows a traditional two-storey a and g, narrow apertures, and a modestly sized eye. Curves are smooth and controlled, with crisp entry strokes and delicate finishing, producing a clean, rhythmic texture in text. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender diagonals and open counters that read clearly at display sizes.
Well suited to magazine and book typography where a classic, high-finish serif is desired, particularly for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and chapter titles. It also fits premium branding and packaging applications where sharp detail and elegant contrast can be reproduced cleanly.
The tone is polished and literary, suggesting heritage publishing and premium editorial design. Its contrast and fine detailing convey elegance and a sense of formality, with a quiet confidence suited to sophisticated branding and headline settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical text-serif proportions, emphasizing crisp contrast and finely drawn serifs for a cultivated, editorial voice. It prioritizes elegance and typographic authority over ruggedness, aiming for clear, stylish reading texture in larger sizes.
In continuous text the face creates a bright, airy color with noticeable sparkle from the hairlines and thin cross-strokes. The italics are not shown, but the roman forms already provide strong emphasis through contrast, especially in capitals and numerals.
