A refined serif with sharp hairline serifs, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and a crisp, polished finish. The letterforms show a classic, slightly calligraphic construction: stress is evident in rounded shapes, joins are clean, and terminals often taper to fine points. Proportions lean tall with relatively small internal counters in the lowercase, while capitals carry a stately presence and smooth curves. Numerals and punctuation follow the same disciplined contrast and delicate detailing, giving the set a cohesive, formal rhythm.
Well-suited to magazine and editorial typography, display headlines, and sophisticated branding where contrast and detail can read clearly. It also fits book covers and formal communications that benefit from a classic, premium voice.
The overall tone feels poised and luxurious, balancing traditional bookish credibility with a modern editorial sheen. Its dramatic contrast and fine details convey sophistication and a sense of ceremony, making text feel curated rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical text serif: authoritative in structure, but sharpened for high-end editorial and brand applications through strong contrast, fine serifs, and clean, controlled shapes.
Large sizes showcase the hairline serifs and tapered terminals especially well, while dense settings emphasize the strong vertical rhythm and compact lowercase counters. The design’s elegance comes from consistent contrast and carefully controlled curves rather than ornament.
