A refined serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with a slightly calligraphic feel that shows in the curved joins and the shaping of diagonals. The proportions are open and generously spaced, giving the letterforms an airy rhythm; round letters are clean and controlled, while details like the tail on Q and the beak-like terminals add a subtle display edge. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with elegant curves and fine hairlines.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book or report titling where a crisp, upscale serif voice is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that benefits from high-contrast refinement, performing especially well in headlines, pull quotes, and other larger-size applications.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a fashion/editorial sophistication. Its sharp finishing and delicate hairlines read as premium and composed, lending a sense of tradition without feeling overly ornamental.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic text serif: readable structure paired with higher contrast and sharpened detailing for a more fashion-forward, headline-capable presence.
In text, the strong contrast creates a lively texture: thick verticals anchor lines while fine horizontals and hairline serifs add sparkle. The lowercase shows a conventional text-serif construction with clear counters, while select characters (notably Q and some terminals) introduce distinctive, slightly dramatic gestures that push it toward headline use at larger sizes.
