This serif face shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline serifs and smooth, bracketed joins. Capitals are relatively broad with generous internal space, while lowercase forms keep a traditional, book-oriented structure with a two-storey “a” and “g.” Curves are round and clean, terminals are fine and slightly tapered, and the overall rhythm feels even and measured, with delicate horizontal strokes and crisp diagonals.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support refined headlines, pull quotes, and brand applications that benefit from a classic, upscale impression.
The tone is polished and literary, leaning toward classic elegance rather than display exuberance. Its high-contrast sparkle and airy serifs create a refined, formal voice suitable for sophisticated editorial settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an elegant, high-contrast finish—balancing classic proportions with crisp detailing to deliver a cultured, print-oriented feel.
Numerals appear lining with a similarly delicate contrast and open shapes, maintaining a consistent, dignified color in text. The sample paragraph suggests comfortable readability at larger text sizes, where the hairlines and serifs remain clearly articulated.
