A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are finely bracketed with a slight flare, giving strokes a sculpted, calligraphic finish rather than blunt slab endings. The capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, with generous internal counters and a smooth, consistent rhythm across the set. Lowercase forms maintain a steady text color while retaining sharp details in joins and terminals; curves are clean and controlled, and the overall drawing reads precise and polished.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, long-form reading, and book typography where a refined, high-end texture is desired. It also performs convincingly in display sizes for magazine headlines, cultural branding, and formal printed pieces such as invitations or programs, where its crisp contrast and delicate serifs can be appreciated.
The tone is poised and cultured, leaning toward contemporary editorial sophistication with a clear nod to classical book typography. Its sharp contrasts and delicate finishing convey luxury and seriousness without feeling ornamental or eccentric.
Designed to deliver a classic, literature-friendly serif voice with elevated contrast and carefully finished terminals, balancing traditional proportions with a cleaner, more contemporary sharpness for modern publishing and brand settings.
In the samples, the italic is not shown; the roman carries most of the personality through contrast and terminal shaping. Numerals appear lining and similarly refined, matching the uppercase in stature and finish, which helps maintain a formal, publication-ready voice.
