A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline terminals. The serifs are delicate and bracketed, with clean, tapered joins that give stems and diagonals a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Curves are smooth and carefully tensioned, and capitals show generous proportions with sharp apexes and pointed diagonals. Lowercase forms are compact and orderly, with a two-storey “g,” a crisp ear on “g,” and a narrow, slightly angled “e” crossbar; numerals follow the same high-contrast rhythm with elegant bowls and fine finishing strokes.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, book work, and other reading-oriented design where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from high-contrast elegance and crisp detail.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, evoking traditional book typography and contemporary magazine polish. Its sharp contrast and fine detailing read as premium and formal, with a subtly dramatic presence in display sizes while remaining composed and conventional in structure.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly polished serif for literary and editorial settings, emphasizing sharp contrast and fine finishing strokes to convey sophistication and authority.
In text, the font creates a bright, high-clarity page color with noticeable sparkle from the thin strokes and small serifs. Round letters (O, C, G, Q) feel especially graceful, and the italic-like flicks on some terminals add a faint sense of movement without breaking the upright stance.
